"A few years later in 2013, Crytek gave its official blessing to a TimeSplitters fan project looking to keep the franchise alive, even going so far as to provide original TimeSplitters assets for the project. The IP would later be transferred to THQ Nordic (now part of the Embracer Group), which honored Crytek's original agreement for the fan project, even as it briefly resurrected Free Radical with the intent on bringing the TimeSplitters franchise back to life."
""Rewind is not a traditional remake in that there aren't three separate executables, [but rather] it is one game that, as closely as possible, captures the spirit of three games in one," according to the project's "About" page. "So, unlike a traditional HD collection or remake, it is its own title. By the end of this game's development, the goal is to have extensive content spanning three games but our initial launch will focus on a subset of both existing content from the original games and some new content.""
TimeSplitters Rewind is a fan-made reimagining that collects maps, modes, leagues, and story content from the original TimeSplitters trilogy, remade from the ground up. The release is available completely free on PC and carries the official blessing of the IP holder. The original trilogy was developed by Free Radical in the early 2000s; Free Radical went bankrupt in 2008 and was absorbed by Crytek. Crytek granted a fan project permission in 2013 and supplied assets. The IP later moved to THQ Nordic/Embracer, which honored the agreement. The fan project persisted through personnel turnover and setbacks and has now launched Rewind, designed as one unified title rather than three separate executables, with an initial subset of content and plans to expand toward extensive coverage of all three games.
