Eidos have announced that TimeSplitters 2 is currently in development for Xbox. TimeSplitters 2 is the sequel to the hugely successful and critically acclaimed TimeSplitters - The game is being developed by Free Radical Design and is set for release in Autumn 2002.

"We are extremely excited to announce that TimeSplitters 2 will be released on all the next generation gaming consoles," says Mike McGarvey, CEO of Eidos Interactive. "Now Xbox owners have the opportunity to experience the stunning graphics and amazing gameplay that TimeSplitters 2 has to offer."

"At Free Radical, we are passionate about console gaming," says David Doak, Managing Director of Free-Radical Design. "It’s only natural that TimeSplitters 2 will be appearing on all three next generation consoles."

Prepare to battle through history as the evil TimeSplitters get ready to rise again. TimeSplitters 2 will improve on the original in every conceivable way. The game offers a more involving single player and co-operative story mode, featuring a complex narrative with multiple objective-based episodes and superbly animated cut-scenes.

The game engine has been extensively upgraded to accommodate bigger, better backgrounds and special graphical effects while still providing the distinctive smooth fast paced action of the original. A completely rewritten animation system incorporating inverse kinematics brings even more lifelike movement and dynamism to a new collection of 'loveable rogue' characters.

TimeSplitters 2 will retain the unique MapMaker in an enhanced form, which opens up even more potential for user customised game scenarios

I'm pumped for this game. I read about it in XBN and it sounds sweet. It should give me another FPS to play other that Halo.

This has to be one of the most underated PS2 games I've seen.

Even though people say the single player sucked for the first one, for the 2nd version of the game the single player will be greatly improved.

I can't wait for this game.
