Jun 19, 2024 12:02 PM

Exciting news for PlayStation fans: TimeSplitters, the beloved first-person shooter originally released for PS2, is set to join the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog on PS5 and PS4. Following the recent addition of other PS2 classics like Tomb Raider Legend and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a rating for TimeSplitters has been spotted in Taiwan, strongly suggesting its imminent arrival. TimeSplitters, developed by people behind iconic shooters GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, features time-traveling characters battling evil creatures across different eras. The series includes sequels TimeSplitters 2 and TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. Although plans for a new entry faced setbacks, the franchise remains a nostalgic favorite.

When will TimeSplitters be available on the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog?

While an exact release date hasn't been announced, the rating in Taiwan indicates that its availability is imminent. Keep an eye on official announcements from PlayStation for the confirmed release date.

Background Information: TimeSplitters made its debut in 2000 as a launch title for the PlayStation 2, quickly earning a following due to its fast-paced gameplay and unique time-traveling narrative. Developed by Free Radical Design, a team comprising former Rare employees, the game succeeded in establishing a legacy similar to that of GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. After the original Free Radical Design faced challenges finding a publisher for a fourth game, the series went through various ownership changes, eventually landing with Embracer Group. Fans have been eagerly awaiting its return, making the potential addition to the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog a significant event for retro gaming enthusiasts.
