Over the last few years, THQ Nordic has acquired numerous old IPs, some of which have long been forgotten. As such, many of the publisher?s recently acquired properties remain in limbo with questionable futures. Thankfully, TimeSplitters Co-Creator Steve Ellis? recent hiring suggests the same isn?t true of the beloved sci-fi shooter. While details remain scant, THQ Nordic subsidiary Koch Media seems confident TimeSplitters will return in some fashion. However, according to Koch Media?s CEO, Klemens Kundratitz, bringing the franchise back won?t be simple.
In speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, Kundratitz confirmed the companies, along with Ellis, are indeed ?exploring ways to bring TimeSplitters back.? TimeSplitters hails from a bygone era, though, having originally launched in 2000. Its most recent entry, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect, hit the PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox in 2005. Simply put, times have changed drastically, especially the way in which we play first-person shooters. Consequently, Ellis may have a herculean task ahead of him in trying to modernize a series that?s missed out on two full generations.
