After finishing up work on the multiplayer component of Crysis 2, Crytek UK (formerly known as Free Radical Design), are looking towards their next project. In speaking with Eurogamer, managing director Karl Hilton, revealed they have been talking publishers about the possibility of bringing back TimeSplitters or perhaps develop an all-new IP.
"There hasn't been a TimeSplitters game for quite a while. Obviously TimeSplitters is a FPS with a strong multiplayer element. The question is, is that the way to go with another one, or should it go down a different route, or should we be developing a new IP altogether?
It's down to us talking to publishers about what their interest is and where they see it going. If they're keen for a TS game, then we'd be happy to do one. If they'd like us to develop something new then we'd do that.
Whether the TS is like the classic TS or whether the TS is a new imagined TS, that's the other thing to discuss with them."
