Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction—the popular co-op action adventure is now set to be adapted into a film, as reported by Variety. The buzz around this project is palpable, with multiple top Hollywood studios vying for the movie rights. This has prompted Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in transforming games and other non-traditional properties into cinematic experiences, to start assembling a compelling package. This includes securing the project’s writers, director, and cast. Notably, Story Kitchen, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, was behind the successful film adaptation of Hazelight Studios’ earlier hit, It Takes Two. Their portfolio also boasts the Sonic the Hedgehog movies and the Netflix series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While further details remain under wraps, the anticipation is already building.
Adding to the excitement, Split Fiction achieved remarkable sales, surpassing two million copies sold within just its first week on the market. This milestone underscores the game's widespread appeal and the eager anticipation for its film adaptation. IGN's review lauded Split Fiction as an unmissable co-op adventure, praising its ability to remain fabulously fresh throughout its engaging 14-hour gameplay.
In other news from Hazelight Studios, director Josef Fares recently announced that the team is already hard at work on their next game, promising more innovative experiences for gamers in the future.
