    RIP the studio that brought us Time Splitters 🫡

      Well, the studio that brought us TS had been closed down in 2009 already. Deep Silver had opened a new studio under that name in 2021 (admittedly employing parts of the “old gang”), which is the one we’re now seeing getting shut down.

        After Crytek had thoroughly fucked them, yes. Much of the key people were the same and thats really what I referred to. The Old Guarde did not survive a second fall.

        More importantly, people who directly influenced my childhood via Goldeneye and the original TS were in there when it went down again. To them, I give the mightiest of salutes.

    Hate to see that. Recently played through time splitters future perfect with my friend and had a great time on the Xbox backwards compatibility. Hopefully the time splitters rewind project makes good progress and releases at some point.

    Embracer is single handedly destroying enough studios to set the industry back a number of years.

    When is Embracer going to shut down?
