“At Hazelight, we’ve been building co-op games for 10 years, and with every game we push beyond what players expect for action-adventure co-op games. I’m so proud of what we have built with Split Fiction. Let me tell you guys, it’s going to blow your mind. Because Mio and Zoe jump back and forth between sci-fi and fantasy worlds we’ve been able to do some really wild things with gameplay and storytelling. This is definitely our most epic co-op adventure yet,” shared Hazelight founder Josef Fares.

Split Fiction Overview

Here’s an overview of the game:

Split Fiction is an action-adventure game that pushes the boundaries of the co-op genre further than ever. Developed by Hazelight Studios, the imaginative minds behind the 2021 Game of the Year winner with more than 20 million units sold worldwide, It Takes Two, comes a unique co-op action-adventure split-screen game where players will jump between sci-fi and fantasy worlds. With a wide range of ever-changing abilities, players will take on the roles of Mio and Zoe as they work together to take back their creative legacies and discover the power of an unexpected friendship.

In Split Fiction, players will discover a variety of sci-fi and fantasy mechanics and abilities. Escape a sun that’s going supernova, challenge a monkey to a dance battle, try out some cool hoverboard tricks, fight an evil kitty and ride everything from gravity bikes to a sandshark. With worlds that are entirely different from each other, surprising challenges await players at every turn.

Mio and Zoe are contrasting writers, one of sci-fi and the other of fantasy, who become trapped in their own stories after being hooked up to a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. Jumping back and forth between worlds, they’ll have to work together and master a variety of abilities in order to break free with their memories intact.

A Hazelight staple feature, Friend’s Pass, which allows one player who owns the game to invite a friend to play for free, is back and pushed even further with cross-play options enabled for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
