THQ Nordic acquires TimeSplitters and Second Sight | General News | NintendoReporters

 [![THQ Nordic acquires TimeSplitters and Second Sight](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/thq-nordic-acquires-timesplitters-and-second-sight.jpg "THQ Nordic acquires TimeSplitters and Second Sight")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/thq-nordic-acquires-timesplitters-and-second-sight.jpg)THQ Nordic has put out a press release to inform fans that the company has successfully obtained the TimeSplitters and Second Sight IPs.

Both of those franchises are fan favourites, especially the Timesplitters series which was a huge hit back in the day.

## [](#thq-nordiq-about-the-acquisition)THQ Nordiq about the acquisition

> Timesplitters was largely considered as one of the most influential console games of the early 2000’s. The three game series earned a large and passionate fan base thanks to its unique humour, art style and pop culture references while encouraging customization and modification to give each person their own individual experience.
>
> Timesplitters was originally created by the development studio Free Radical Design that later become Deep Silver Dambuster, part of the THQ Nordic group.
> In addition to Timesplitters, the IP and the rights to science fiction action-adventure game Second Sight were acquired.

Both acquisitions were made through THQ Nordic’s fully owned subsidiary Koch Media GmbH.

As big fans of at least the Timesplitters series (especially 2 and Future Perfect) we cheer the fact that this could mean a revival of some sort for the IP.

For those not familiar with both we have included some footage to give you an idea, video credits go out to **IGN**;

Keep in mind this was way back in 2004/2005, so imagine what it could look like nowadays. Now let’s hope THQ Nordiq also decides to bring this to the Nintendo Switch side.
