Hopefully this leads to some Xbox back compat. Also hoping this doesn't lead to a port that's nickel and dimed. One o the great things about this series was the amount of content you got for your purchase. Games these days would never have 100 characters without additional transactions.

Beloved British shooter series TimeSplitters has been bought by Koch Media, and it sounds like something is in the works.

Today's news means Koch Media - which also owns Deep Silver Dambuster - has the rights to make new TimeSplitters games and re-release old ones.

It certainly sounds like something is in the works, too.

"We are hugely excited to have acquired Timesplitters," Koch Media boss Klemens Kundratitz said in a statement. "The original games gave fans a massive content offer and provided a pure and genuinely fun arcade shooter experience.

"We have many fans of the Timesplitters series among our own staff who are passionate about creating a product that will thrill todays gaming audience."

The rights to fellow Free Radical Design game Second Sight, an underappreciated story-led shooter about a gun-toting parapsychology researcher discovering special powers, has also been picked up by Koch. "Forthcoming Second Site [sic] products will also be published by Deep Silver," the statement reads.
