Crytek UK still shopping around new TimeSplitters title

The studio formerly known as Free Radical Design may now
be called Crytek UK, but that doesn't mean it has abandoned its popular
TimeSplitters franchise. Managing director Karl Hilton said the developer
is still shopping around that IP to publishers to see if it's something they're interested in. We've known that Crytek UK has been working on both another
TimeSplitters and
some sort of original FPS IP for a while now, but Hilton says the coin flip hasn't landed yet. "If [publishers are] keen for a
TS game," he says, "then we'd be happy to do one. If they'd like us to develop something new then we'd do that."
Hilton also says that even if it is agreed that Crytek UK will create a new
TimeSplitters game, it may not look like the old ones. Publishers are excited about the brand, he says, but they may need it to be updated or tweaked in some way. But Hilton guarantees players that no matter what personality a new
TimeSplitters game might eventually bear, it will definitely be a strong one. Doesn't matter to us, either, Mr. Hilton -- just please make sure that we get to play as a monkey at some point.
