We study the asymptotic behaviour of the vertex amplitude for the EPRL spin foam model extended to include timelike tetrahedra. We analyze both, tetrahedra of signature --- (standard EPRL), as well as of signature +-- (Hnybida-Conrady extension), in a unified fashion. However, we assume all faces to be of signature --. We find that the critical points of the extended model are described again by 4-simplices and the phase of the amplitude is equal to the Regge action. Interestingly, in addition to the Lorentzian and Euclidean sectors there appear also split signature 4-simplices.
