Timesplitters 2 4K Port Hidden In Homefront: The Revolution Discovered
After a former Crytek developer revealed that the entire game Timesplitters 2 was hidden inside Homefront: The Revolution, the internet set to work uncovering it.
A full 4K version of Timesplitters 2 has been hiding inside Homefront: The Revolution, and a modder has uncovered the secret of how to unlock it. The discovery came shortly after a developer revealed the secret Easter egg, but it took a bit of work to figure out how to actually use it.
Polygon reports former developer for Homefront: The Revolution developer Dambuster Studios disclosed the secret that Timesplitters 2 was hidden in the code, but said he had forgotten the cheat code used to unlock it. That led modder Lance McDonald to reverse-engineer the problem and find the solution, which he tweeted out last Thursday.

TimeSplitters 2 remastered is out now on PC (inside Homefront: The Revolution)
Finally, Free Radical’s cult classic, TimeSplitters 2, is available in remastered form on PC – inside Homefront: The Revolution. 2016’s Homefront sequel has always had an arcade machine that let you play the first two levels of TimeSplitters 2 inside, but a developer recently revealed that the entire game was there all along, hidden behind an unlock code that had been lost to time. Now, just a few days later, players have figured out how to get access to the full game.
According to developer Matt Phillips, who implemented the TimeSplitters 2 port, the full game was meant to be unlockable through some good, old-fashioned cheat codes. “The unlock code has been lost to time,” Phillips says. “I don’t have the notebook with it in anymore. I once gave it to a friend to leak in some Discord channel and they called him a liar and banned his account.”
