Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction! According to Variety, the popular co-op action adventure game is set to receive a film adaptation. The report highlights that multiple top Hollywood studios have been vying for the movie rights, prompting Story Kitchen, a media company specializing in adapting games and other non-traditional properties into film and TV, to assemble a comprehensive package. This includes securing the project's writers, director, and cast. Notably, Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, was also behind the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' previous game, It Takes Two, as well as other projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. At this point, further details about the Split Fiction movie remain under wraps.
The momentum for Split Fiction continues to build; earlier this month, it was announced that the game achieved remarkable sales, selling over two million copies in its first week on the market. IGN's review praised Split Fiction as an unmissable co-op adventure that remains fabulously fresh throughout its entire 14-hour gameplay.
Adding to the excitement, Hazelight director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the studio is already working on its next game. This news suggests a bright future for Hazelight Studios and their innovative approach to gaming.
