TimeSplitters Rewind, a long-anticipated fan project, is now available in early access after 13 years of development.
Features and Content
The initial early access release for TimeSplitters Rewind, powered by CryEngine, offers a combination of classic and new content. The mod revisits the first three TimeSplitters games through a "greatest hits" format.
- Features 28 maps, 91 characters, and 41 weapons.
- Includes 10-player competitive multiplayer across 20 arcade modes.
- Releases with the full TimeSplitters 1 story in co-op mode.
Development Journey
Rewind's development faced challenges, switching from CryEngine to Unreal Engine 4 before reverting due to licensing issues. The project accelerated in 2020 when art lead Cameron Williams's update expanded the team rapidly.
Impact and Future Plans
The original TimeSplitters games are revered despite their age, and Rewind aims to refresh and celebrate their legacy. Developers plan further updates following the early access stage, enhancing what they call "the largest free content video game ever."
