1UP.com has word from Free Radical's Rob Yescombe that Crytek has purchased the company, settling the fate the TimeSplitters designer, which had been up in the air since the company entered administration. Word is: "Yescombe said that he was unsure what the deal would mean for those made redundant on New Year's Eve, but that he hoped the company could ramp back up to its former size. Asked about what the team will be working on -- and specifically if this means we will one day see TimeSplitters 4 -- he said, 'We don't know yet. We'll find out over the coming weeks.'"
