Rumour – Timesplitters news on the way

Has it really been a whole six weeks since the last Timesplitters announce rumour? Must be time for another one, then.

“Gun-wielding monkeys are making a comeback! A fourth TimeSplitters title is to be announced soon,” the September issue of OPM claimed, as reported by ConnectedConsoles. Soon? Like, gamescom soon?

The Timesplitters series was developed by Free Radical, which was later purchased and rebranded as Crytek UK. The studio’s activities post Crysis-2 contributions have been under wraps for some time, and was expected to be revealed at E3.

Crytek has indicated its willingness to resurrect the series, but rumours of an imminent or even quite distant announce circulate every few months.

A Crytek staffer’s CV recently outed a new IP in the works at Crytek proper, ruling out the possibility of the Far Cry and Crysis team re-vamping the IP.

Thanks, GameInformer.

Crytek UK should make this game, it’s one of the best Shooter series ever!, I loved number 2.

It was awesome, however I only ever owned Timesplitters 3 but played the 2nd at a friends house. I must have completed the 3rd’s singleplayer a billion times XD It was just so corny and fun Plus co-op was awesome. I remember one part of the singleplayer, there was two henchmen talking and at first it sounded like they were talking about sex but if you stayed to listen it was chess or something like that XD
