During an interview in 2012 about their mobile game studio, Crash Lab, former Free Radical team members Steve Ellis, Martin Wakeley, and Lee Musgrave confirmed that an HD version of "TimeSplitters 2" had been in development as a downloadable product during 2008; however, the product was never released before the Free Radical shut down. Ellis expressed a desire to see the HD version released eventually, opining that "it could be the catalyst that is required in order to raise enough interest in "TimeSplitters 4" that a publisher might want to fund it."
