After 13 years hacking through the development wilderness, TimeSplitters Rewind<\/a> is out. Its creators revealed last month<\/a> that the CryEngine-powered mod would finally be released in November. True to their word, Rewind is available to download<\/a> now.<\/p>\n

Rewind is a somewhat unusual fan project, a mixture of remake, compilation and spiritual successor to the first three TimeSplitters games. The website describes it as “a greatest hits collection of maps, modes, leagues, challenges and story content across the original trilogy of TimeSplitters games.”<\/p>\n

The end goal of the project is to include “extensive content spanning the three games”. But this initial, early access release focuses on “a subset of both existing content from the original games and some new content.” This includes 28 maps, 91 characters, 41 weapons, and 10-player competitive multiplayer with 20 arcade game modes. “Sorry it’s taken so long. We’ve only been making the largest free content video game ever”, the website’s front page bullishly declares.<\/p>\n

To coincide with the launch, the modders released a trailer showing Rewind in action. This also provides further clarification on what the early access version contains. Specifically, it notes that the release includes the “full TS1 story with co-op”. The video’s description also tells players to expect a “substantial amount of content (and bugs)”, suggesting this initial launch may not be the most stable.<\/p>\n
