Crytek UK working on a FPS
Timesplitters 4 scan
For those of you who do not remember late last year there was some weird happening. Free Radical the studo responsible for the TimeSplitters Franchise was forced to close, but Crytek appeared from the horizon and swooped them up and transformed them into Crytek UK. Since then they’ve been working on Crysis 2.
Hoping the team would still be working on TimeSplitters 4 Crytek UK’s unofficial blog says they’re working on a FPS which isn’t TimeSplitters 4. The title which is currently in development is original and will have a multiplayer and single-player experience as from the TimeSplitters franchise. Following Karl Hilton words
This could possibly be bad news for the future of TimeSplitters 4 as new ideas are being put forward while TimeSplitters 4 is being left behind
But if people voice their desire for a TS and the demand is there, when the time comes, they’ll be ready for it.
