Crytek UK have cleared up the rumours and confirmed that Timesplitters 4 is not in development.
Last week, news emerged via an OXM insider, who claimed to have seen the not-yet-announced game “running”.
The speculation (and source) have obviously been silenced due to Crytek UK’s soul-crushing, yet funny statement:
“For Timesplitters 4, with ever spiralling development costs, massive teams and endless crunch we decided on a more radical development strategy.”
“In short, the experiment was to implement the infinite monkey theorem. With cloning being a far too expensive option, we spent all of the development budget on buying monkeys on the black market.”
“Those seven monkeys are now sat in a room with typewriters and lots of mirrors, and we fully expect Timesplitters 4 to be finished soon. Rumours are that they haven’t written any code but just tease the press from time to time. Those damn monkeys.”
“PS: anyone got any bananas?”
TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (2005) was the most recent release in the series for PS2, Xbox and GameCube, with the franchise then fading out of the limelight after Crytek saved TimeSplitters studio Free Radical from closing down.
