Free Radical Design, TimeSplitters Studio, Shuts Down Amid Industry Challenges
TL;DR
Free Radical Design, the UK-based studio known for developing the TimeSplitters series, has confirmed its closure after shutting down its website and employees posting farewell messages on social media. The closure comes as part of company-wide cuts at Embracer and its owned publishers. All 80 remaining staff at Free Radical Design have reportedly been let go, adding to the growing number of job losses in the gaming industry. The closure raises uncertainty about the future of the TimeSplitters franchise, which the new Free Radical Design was established to revive.
