THQ Nordic recently denied rumors of them currently working on a remake of TimeSplitters 2.
The rumor originated from an Easter egg discovered in their recently released SpellForce 3: Fallen God game involving one of the merchants in the game who talks about being willing to selling a copy of Timesplitters 2 to the player.
That led to people speculating THQ Nordic is currently working on a remake of the game since the same merchant also sells other games that THQ Nordic worked on in the past.

Players journeying through the continent of Urgath came across a particularly shady merchant who, among their wares, is willing to sell you the highly wish-listed remake of the classic 2002 shooter sequel. The same merchant also sells you "canceled" games such as Gothic and BioMutant - both of which have had lengthy development periods at THQ Nordic.
This didn't stop fans on the internet from proclaiming the appearance of the hypothetical remake as an official confirmation, which is apparently not the case at all. Speaking to Eurogamer, THQ Nordic has confirmed that the Timesplitters 2 reference is "just an innocent Easter egg" notably available from "a character known especially for not telling the truth."
