If there was still doubt in our minds that Free Radical was in a bad way, then this update should really seal the deal: the developer behind Timesplitters is now officially up for sale. Company rights, administration, everything, and we assume it also includes the Timesplitters IP.

Of course, all is not lost, even if the Free Radical name (and everything associated with it) is being put up for sale. Free Radical founder Steve Ellis and a few key members have set up shop as a new studio, named Pumpkin Beach, and we’re hoping that the esteemed Dr. Doak is among those who joined up with him. We only hope that they’ve learned their lesson – Haze was something we all looked forward to, and we hope that they would not repeat the same mistake again.
