    Timesplitters F2P multiplayer would make a killing in today’s landscape. Such a shame they just can’t seem to get it done.

    Embracer stack of cards is falling, Free Radical being next in line.

    Says, employees had already started to post they were looking for opportunities. It’s brutal and sad.

    Oh no, the Timesplitters series had some really great entries.

    All the best to the ones that lost their jobs!

    From article:

    According to people close to Free Radical Design, the Nottingham, UK-based studio has been part of the evaluation and employees have now been notified that it could close.

    As required by UK employment law, Plaion – the Embracer division which runs Free Radical – must consult employees for a minimum of 30 days before making any redundancies, including exploring ways of avoiding them.

    There remains a possibility that the studio could remain open then, should Embracer receive interest from third parties interested in acquiring it.

    However, VGC analysis of LinkedIn and social media shows that, within just the last 24 hours, at least 15 people employed at Free Radical have already published posts saying they’re looking for work.
