Former Crytek UK employees involved in the development of Homefront: The Revolution joined Dambuster Studios.
Shortly after the release of Homefront: The Revolution, players discovered a slot machine in which you can complete two missions of the TimeSplitters 2 story campaign. However, Phillips said that the shooter does not hide two levels, but the entire game.
The rest of the levels were activated using a special code that was lost over time. According to Phillips, he once gave the code to a friend of his to lease it to one of the Discord channels. But the friend was called a liar and his account was banned.
In addition to the storyline campaign, players were able to play multiplayer, which could be launched in the co-op mode of Homefront: The Revolution.
Since the release of Homefront: The Revolution, players have found other TimeSplitters 2 levels in the game files, so they guessed that they could be accessed. However, so far it has been possible to do this only by manipulating the game files.
Now the rights to the TimeSplitters series belong to Embracer Groupformerly known as THQ Nordic, which bought Koch Media in early 2018.
