Critically-Acclaimed First Person Shooter Returns with Innovative Time Travel
Gameplay, Improved Story Mode, Single Player Co-op Mode, Online Play, and More.
Electronic Arts announced the return of one of the most critically acclaimed
console first-person shooters with TimeSplitters Future Perfectâ„¢, in development
by Free Radical Design Ltd. and slated to ship in early 2005 under the EA GAMESâ„¢
brand.

In TimeSplitters Future Perfect, victory is in the hands of the player’s past,
present, and future self in a battle that stretches throughout time where humanity
is on the brink of destruction from the malevolent TimeSplitters. Cortez–the
tough-as-nails hero from previous installments–finds himself in a frantic race
against time in a desperate bid to trace the origin of the TimeSplitters and
save mankind.

This third installment of the best-selling franchise will feature hundreds
of hours of gameplay and an improved Story mode that ties all the missions together,
immersing gamers in an epic adventure between the years of 1914 and 2401. Innovative
“meet yourself” time travel gameplay lets players be their own ally
by teaming up with past and future versions of themselves. The game also will
allow two players to fight through the Story in Co-op mode, and features extensive
Challenge and Arcade modes, and a Multiplayer mode that allows gamers to battle
in 16-player death match online on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system. In addition, gamers will experience an improved Map Maker feature allowing
them to easily create and play their own maps and share them online. TimeSplitters
Future Perfect promises to be one of the deepest arcade shooters on the console
with hundreds of unlockables, more realistic environments, spectacular special
effects, high quality animated cut scenes, an improved physics engine, smarter
enemy AI, and much more.

Under development by UK-based Free Radical Design Ltd, the team behind the
celebrated TimeSplitters franchise, TimeSplitters Future Perfect is scheduled
for release in early 2005 for the PlayStation 2 console, the Xbox® video game
system from Microsoft, and Nintendo GameCubeâ„¢.
