Hazelight’s popular co-op adventure game, Split Fiction, has achieved a significant milestone, selling almost four million copies. This success was highlighted by publisher EA in their recent financial report, where they acknowledged the game as a major contributor to their strong financial year.
A Co-op Phenomenon
The developers at Hazelight expressed their excitement on social media, noting the incredible reception of Split Fiction by players. They conveyed their appreciation for the enthusiasm shown for the game’s characters and the engaging co-operative gameplay.
Split Fiction offers a unique experience, immersing players in the interconnected stories of two fiction writers. What sets it apart is its accessibility: two players can enjoy the adventure even if only one owns the game. Launched in March, it quickly became another hit for Hazelight and designer Josef Fares, surpassing 2 million sales in its first week. There is also speculation about the game being a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Beyond the Game: A Movie Adaptation
The world of Split Fiction is expanding beyond the gaming screen. Story Kitchen, known for their work on video game adaptations like the Sonic films, is developing a movie based on the game. They are currently in the process of assembling a team of writers, a director, and cast members, including Sydney Sweeney.
The game has been described as an innovative and captivating co-op experience, seamlessly blending various gameplay styles to maintain a sense of freshness throughout its 14-hour adventure.
