The future of the Timesplitters series remains undecided, according to Crytek's CEO.

“ We don't know how big the fan community is, unfortunately.

“ I love the idea, and I wish we'll work on it, but currently we are not working on it.

In an interview with CVG , Cevat Yerli revealed that the team isn't currently working on Timesplitters 4 , and that a retail release would be out of the question anyway.He said, "I wish we were working on it, I will say that. I think hopes are high, but change has to happen in the platform space. I'm very excited potentially about the idea of a TimeSplitters for G-Face.Timesplitters was originally developed by Free Radical, which Crytek obtained in February 2009. Despite fan hopes that this would mean a 4th entry in the popular shooter series may see release, Yerli reveals there just wasn't enough industry demand.He explains, "The concept behind TimeSplitters was pitched around before we took over and Free Radical had no luck. We think even on CryEngine and with Crytek behind it there would be fundamental issues with the concept."I love the idea, and I wish we'll work on it, but currently we are not working on it."Yerli admitted, "I've been asked this question internally and I said, 'how can we do a kickstarter? It wouldn't feel right.' I suppose if someone really, really wanted to..."I guess the other issue is this; the reality also is we're quite a large company, but also we have capacity limits and we don't want to hire 15 people just to do this game. Kickstarter is a concept we thought about seriously... we'll see. Time will tell."
