TimeSplitters Creators In Next-Gen Deal

Ubisoft announced that it has signed an agreement with Free Radical Design, developer of the acclaimed TimeSplitters series, to develop an action game based on new IP for release in fiscal year 2006-2007.

The game (title to be announced) will be developed for next-generation consoles and the PC. Targeting mature gamers, it will feature difficult strategic choices and moral dilemmas, tapping into both their rational and emotional instincts.

The three games in the Free Radical's TimeSplitters series have earned stellar ratings from some of the industry's most respected sources and have sold around 3.5 million copies.

Further details are scarce at the moment but expect an E3, 2006 showing while Virginie Gretz, director of third-party development for EMEA at Ubisoft says, with this game, we plan to take players to a new level of intensity and create an environment at once terrifying, enthralling and impossible to resist.
