Way back in 2004, there was a little game called Second Sight. It was developed by Free Radical Design, a group of former developers from Rare, and came originally for the PlayStation 2, Gamecube and Xbox, then eventually making its way onto PC. The game vanished from PC storefronts, however, back in 2012. With it also not being available on any console digital fronts, it effectively meant the game was not accessible without seeking a physical copy. That is, until now.

With no real announcement or fanfare, THQ Nordic (who bought the rights to Free Radical’s work) has returned the game to Steam, which you can see a link to here. Do keep in mind, this isn’t a remaster, so it’s basically like playing a game from 2004 for all the good and bad, but it is a bit of a gem from that era, and you can’t be mad at it finally being available once again.

Second Sight saw you take on the role of John Vattic, who is slowly gaining telekinetic powers, as he must escape various settings as he becomes more powerful and gains more abilities. Second Sight is now available on PC via Steam.

As if THQ Nordic wasn’t doing enough to bring back beloved franchises – like Darksiders, for instance – it recently announced via an official statement the acquisition of the TimeSplitters and Second Sight franchises as well. The publisher acquired both through Koch Media. Interestingly, Koch Media owns Deep Silver, whose development team Deep Silver Dambuster consists of former Free Radical Design team members.

If TimeSplitters received a new sequel, chances are pretty good that members of the original development team would be working on it. The last TimeSplitters game to release was TimeSplitters: Future Perfect ,which launched in 2005 for the Xbox, GameCube, and PlayStation 2.

As for Second Sight, Free Radical’s other original IP, it was an action-adventure stealth title focused on an amnesiac with powerful psychic abilities. It received decent critical praise in 2004 when it launched for the GameCube, PS2, and Xbox (and later for PC). Unfortunately, it didn’t see any follow-ups after that.

It wouldn’t be too far-fetched for either franchise to receive remasters. THQ Nordic has been granting remasters to a number of classic titles, like Darksiders 1/2 and the recent Red Faction Guerrilla: Re-Mars-tered Edition-. What are your thoughts on the potential return of TimeSplitters though? Let us know in the comments.
