Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction! According to Variety, the critically acclaimed co-op action adventure game is set to receive a film adaptation. The buzz around this project has led to "multiple top Hollywood studios" vying for the movie rights. Story Kitchen, a media company known for expertly handling film and TV adaptations of games and other non-traditional properties, is currently assembling a comprehensive package deal. This includes the writers, director, and cast. Notably, the same team previously managed the successful film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' game, It Takes Two. Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, has also been behind other high-profile projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While further details are yet to be disclosed, anticipation is already building for what promises to be an exciting cinematic venture.
Adding to the good news, Split Fiction has been a commercial success, having sold over two million copies in its first week on sale. This impressive feat underscores the game's popularity and appeal. IGN's review praised Split Fiction as an unmissable co-op adventure, noting that it remains fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration.
In other developments, Hazelight director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the studio is already working on its next game, keeping the momentum going for fans of their innovative storytelling and gameplay.
