CryEngine 3-fuelled project includes some original staff.
A Crytek-authorised TimeSplitters game is in development for PC, built using the publisher's sparkly CryEngine 3.
TimeSplitters Rewind is being worked on by a team of fans - including members of the original TimeSplitters staff at Free Radical Design.
Rewind will include multiplayer modes and challenges taken from the original three games, re-packaged in HD.
Classic TimeSplitters character Duckman Drake. The team plan to include over 300 familiar faces.
Online play for 8-16 players and bots are in, project manager Michael Hubicka told Cooking with Grenades. But split-screen is out - CryEngine 3 simply does not support it at the moment.
A demo is planned for December.
TimeSplitters Rewind is the latest effort by the game's fan community to get a new entry in the British cult shooter series made. Previous attempts by the 100,000 Strong for TimeSplitters 4 Facebook movement have included campaigns for the unfinished TimeSplitters 4 to be completed, or work to begin on an HD version of series highlight TimeSplitters 2.
Crytek boss Cevat Yerli has said he would love another TimeSplitters game to be made, although has pointed to the various struggling online petitions as indications that fan interest simply wasn't convincing enough.
Yerli eventually told fans that they could make a TimeSplitters CryEngine mod using assets from the original games without fear of being sued. Work on TimeSplitters Rewind began shortly after.
Well its good news for me fan of the series.
