"TimeSplitters may return as a fan-created mod, with support from Crytek. A 100,000 Strong for Timesplitters 4 Facebook group is saying that Crytek has given permission to make a TimeSplitters mod using the studio&amp;#039;s CryEngine.   &amp;quot;I have just had word from Crytek that they are going to permit and support a TimeSplitters CryEngine mod,&amp;quot; group administrator Daniel Wesoly said. &amp;quot;I am now looking for modders that can handle the CryEngine. If I manage to get a group together, then they may let us use assets from the original TimeSplitters game!&amp;quot; The group now hopes to assemble a team of developers to create a mod with all of the levels, characters and weapons from the three TimeSplitters games. Wesoly previously created a petition asking Crytek to create a TimeSplitters HD Collection. CEO and president Cevat Yerli backed the petition, saying he would love to see it happen but it made for a difficult business decision. With Crytek endorsing a fan-created TimeSplitters mod, an official HD collection of the series seems unlikely. It is rare for a major studio to sanction fans to recreate their games, and practically unheard of for a studio to offer original game assets in support. TimeSplitters developer Free Radical Design was purchased by Crytek in 2009. The company has firmly denied that a new TimeSplitters is in development. Earlier this year Crytek also hinted that TimeSplitters could return as a free-to-play game in the future. &amp;gt; Retro Corner: TimeSplitters 2 Watch a video of TimeSplitters 2 below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
