The new TimeSplitters project recently in development at Free Radical Design was originally pitched as a battle royale game to rival Fortnite, a developer on the project has claimed.
This year, however, the project then took a “massive 180” to become something else – something the studio reportedly much preferred: an expanded remake of TimeSplitters 2 with extra content and a few plot changes.
“Originally it was a Fortnite clone. Nobody wanted that really, not even us, but we didn’t have much of a choice for a long time,” the developer told fan wiki The Free Radical Archive.
