      Wait. They were still going? When was the last Time Splitters released and why didn’t we get more?

        they were renamed Crytek UK when Crytek aquired them, they worked on crysis games. Crytek didn’t want to make timesplitter games. Crytek had a bunch of financial problems so they tried to lay everyone off but Britain has laws so you can’t just do that. They moved all the Crytek UK people into another studio also in the uk to make Homefront games.

        Embracer made a new studio called Free Redical hiring some of the old people to make a new timesplitters games a few years ago when embracer were buying everyone they could as investor money is infinite oh no it all just stopped
