The wait is over! Split Fiction, the highly anticipated cooperative action-adventure game from Hazelight Studios, is officially available on Steam, bringing players a brand-new cinematic and immersive multiplayer experience. From the developers of It Takes Two and A Way Out, Split Fiction promises an emotionally charged journey that blends sci-fi, fantasy, and fast-paced co-op gameplay in a way that only Hazelight can deliver.
What is Split Fiction?
Split Fiction is an innovative story-driven, co-op exclusive game where players take on the roles of Mio and Zoe, two writers who mysteriously find themselves trapped within the worlds of their own unfinished stories. To escape, they must work together to navigate their own chaotic creations, solving puzzles, overcoming challenges, and experiencing wildly different genres as they fight their way through an interdimensional adventure.
The game offers:
🎮 Seamless local & online co-op – Designed for two players, whether split-screen or online.
🛡️ Genre-blending gameplay – From fantasy kingdoms to cyberpunk dystopias, every chapter introduces new mechanics and challenges.
🎭 Emotional storytelling – Hazelight’s signature character-driven narrative returns, blending humor, action, and deep personal themes.
🔀 Unpredictable co-op mechanics – No two levels play the same! Whether it’s sword fighting dragons, piloting spaceships, or engaging in sci-fi ninja combat, each scenario presents fresh challenges.
Friend’s Pass & Cross-Play Support
Hazelight is continuing its pro-player philosophy by offering the Friend’s Pass, allowing players to invite a friend to play for free, even if they don’t own the game. Additionally, Split Fiction supports full cross-play across PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, making it easy to connect with friends regardless of platform.
Josef Fares, the director of It Takes Two and Split Fiction, stated:
“We don’t do microtransactions. We don’t do anything that gets in the way of a pure gaming experience. We just want players to have fun, work together, and enjoy a great adventure.”
