An original 'IP' of the Second Sight order is promised by Free Radical, for the and 'next-generation' consoles, and it will be published between mid-2006 and early 2007. Neither the name nor the premise of Free Radical's new opus was revealed in the publisher's press release, however are promising a 'mature-themed' game which will present the player with moral choices. "It will feature difficult strategic choices and moral dilemmas, tapping into both their rational and emotional instincts," reads Ubisoft's press release.

"With this game, we plan to take players to a new level of intensity and create an environment at once terrifying, enthralling and impossible to resist," commented Ubisoft director Virginie Gretz, MD Steve Ellis adding that they are "delighted to benefit from Ubisoft's collaboration on this title and benefit from its strong experience developing and marketing powerful, innovative action titles."

Apparently, the TimeSplitters series has now shifted an impressive 3.5 million copies worldwide, having recently become part of EA's portfolio. Free Radical's staff includes several former game makers, who worked on the landmark GoldenEye for the N64. More on this as we get it.
