Report: Next Game from Hazelight Studios to Be Called “Split Fiction”
Last week, Hazelight Studios’ founder Josef Fares teased their next project on social media, hinting at the title of the upcoming game while suggesting it will once again focus on cooperative gameplay. Now, Dealabs has revealed further details and confirmed the game’s title as Split Fiction.
According to the ever-reliable billbil-kun, Split Fiction will incorporate a new mechanic tied to the use of split-screen or shared-screen modes. But it’s not just any split-screen. The game will implement dynamic screen-sharing, with the screen dividing vertically, horizontally, or even obliquely, depending on the gameplay situation.
Hazelight Studios has been working on Split Fiction for at least two years, and it will be released under Electronic Arts’ EA Originals label, just like A Way Out and It Takes Two. Billbil-kun also suggests we might get an official announcement in November 2024, which would line up with Hazelight’s tenth anniversary. However, whether we’ll get a release window or just more gameplay insights remains uncertain.
In related news, It Takes Two has been a massive hit, selling over 20 million copies worldwide. This sets a high bar for Split Fiction. Whether the new game can meet these expectations and continue the studio’s streak of innovative co-op experiences remains to be seen.
As always, it’s wise to take rumors with a grain of salt until official confirmation arrives. If the rumors hold true, we might hear more about this exciting title soon given the teases.
