Timesplitters rated for PS4 and PS5, suggesting a PS Classics release

As
spotted
by
the
eagle-eyes
of
Gematsu,
TimeSplitters
has
been
rated
by
a
Taiwanese
ratings
board.

The
rating
is
for
PS4
and
PS5
versions
of
the
game,
and
like
Gematsu
says
in
their
tweet,
the
mostly
likely
explanation
is
that
it
will
be
hitting
the
PlayStation
Classics
lineup
soon
as
the

latest
game
in
Sony’s
newest
wave
of
PS2
emulation.

TimeSplitters
has
been
rated
for
PS5
and
PS4
in
Taiwan.
99
percent
likely
it’s
the
PS2
version
for
the
PlayStation
Plus
Classics
Catalog,
considering
the
platforms.

Currently,
the
TimeSplitters
IP
is
owned
by
the
Embracer
Group,

which
is
in
the
process
of
splitting
into
three
companies,
all
with
very
strange
names.
While
this
could
be
a
new
TimeSplitters
title,
it’s
very
unlikely
as
the
company
Embracer
specifically
made
to
create
a
TimeSplitters
sequel
was
shut
down
last
year.

TimeSplitters
was
developed
by
Free
Radical
and
released
in
October
of
200
alongside
the
PlayStation
2.
Reviewers
were
good
and
players
loved
the
game,
so
a
sequel
was
released
just
two
years
later,
followed
by
a
third
game
in
2005.
A
fourth
game
was
planned
by
Free
Radical
entered
into
administration
and
was
subsequently
bought
by
Crytek
who
put
TimeSplitters
4
on
ice.

Various
reports
and
rumours
of
TimeSplitters
titles
would
surface
over
the
years
but
nothing
official
ever
came
to
fruition.
Then
in
2018
there
was
a
glimmer
of
hope
as
Koch
Media
acquired
the
rights
to
TimeSplitters
with
the
intention
to
make
and
publish
new
entries
in
the
series
under
their
Deep
Silver
company.

In
2021,
Free
Radical
Design
was
formed
and
staffed
with
numerous
people
who
worked
on
the
original
games.
Their
aim
was
to
make
a
new
TimeSplitters
game,
although
at
the
time
development
hadn’t
begun.
