Everything we know about the next TimeSplitters
The new Free Radical Design studio will be headed up by Steve Ellis and David Doak, who worked on the original TimeSplitters games. As of right now, development on a new game hasn’t even started, so we probably won’t see it for several years. It’s unclear how TimeSplitters is set to return necessarily, whether it will be TimeSplitters 4 or simply a reboot. It would be cool to see a reboot with nods to the original games through some wacky time travel stuff. It’ll also be most interesting to see how TimeSplitters changes, from graphics to gameplay, since it did have sort of a goofy yet nostalgic art-style for the time. I just hope it has some of the same coop modes that the originals did. Stay tuned for more info, as development is set to start in a few months after the new studio has been built.
