Devs behind GoldenEye, Perfect Dark and TimeSplitters are done with big shooters after getting burned by Embracer, so their next game is a Balatro-like twist on Scrabble—and you can try the demo now

Beyond Words is part of Steam Next Fest.

I’m not sure why they need to go big budget to make FPS. I think many of the best FPS games can be found in the indie scene. Agent 64 is also looking promising.

Either way, a new TimeSplitters was never going to happen either way. This is probably the better outcome.

I think the reason is just the history behind FPSs, where companies used that genre to show off the engine’s capabilities. Although I feel that trend has ended quite a bit ago, especially considering how Ultrakill became such a huge success and using the low poly aspect to their advantage, as it allows a much more hectic gameplay without much performance loss during the gameplay.
I thought a new perfect dark was in development?

That was a different team.

That team was shut down as well.
