Looking for your next co-op adventure? Split Fiction might be exactly what you need. Hazelight Studios, the creators of It Takes Two just showed off their new project at The Game Awards 2024, and it’s quite different from what you might expect. Let’s break down what this game offers and what you can expect when you sit down to play Split Fiction.
Split Fiction Announced at The Game Awards 2024
The story puts you in the shoes of two writers, Mio and Zoe, who get trapped inside their own stories. A tech entrepreneur hooks them up to a machine trying to steal their work, and now they need to work together to escape. Mio writes sci-fi while Zoe creates fantasy stories, which explains why you will bounce between these two very different worlds throughout the game.
Playing through Split Fiction feels like opening a surprise box – you never quite know what’s coming next. One level has you controlling robots with special abilities, while another puts you on the back of a flying dragon. You’ll even find yourself playing as a pig that flies using farts.
How Does Split Fiction Work?
Just like It Takes Two, the game uses split-screen to show both players at once, and you will need to work together to solve puzzles and overcome challenges. Each level brings new abilities to master, though you might only use them a few times before moving on to something completely different.
You can play Split Fiction for $49.99 when it is released on March 6, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC. You only need one copy of the game to play with a friend. Even better, cross-platform play lets you team up with someone regardless of what system they’re using.
For anyone wondering if they should try Split Fiction – if you like games that keep throwing new things at you, or if you’re looking for something to play with a friend that isn’t just another shooter or sports game, this might be worth checking out.
Just remember, whether you’re flying through digital worlds that look like they came straight out of Tron or navigating giant hourglasses, you’ll need a partner to make it through this adventure. The game launches next March, and based on what’s been shown so far, it looks like Hazelight is sticking to its reputation for making co-op games that try something different.
