Due out on March 6, 2025.
Publisher Electronic Arts and developer Hazelight have announced cooperative adventure game Split Fiction for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam). It will launch on March 6, 2025.
“At Hazelight, we’ve been building co-op games for 10 years, and with every game we push beyond what players expect for action-adventure co-op games,” said Hazelight founder Josef Fares in a press release. “I’m so proud of what we have built with Split Fiction. Let me tell you guys, it’s going to blow your mind. Because Mio and Zoe jump back and forth between sci-fi and fantasy worlds we’ve been able to do some really wild things with gameplay and storytelling. This is definitely our most epic co-op adventure yet.”
Electronic Arts Partners general manager Jeff Gamon added, “Friendships and great memories are made through playing amazing co-op games together—and no one does it better than Hazelight. We’re excited to continue our long-term partnership with Josef and his talented team to bring another innovative, collaborative adventure to life; one that continues to push the boundaries and redefine what players can experience together on and off the screen.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Electronic Arts:
Split Fiction is an action adventure game that pushes the boundaries of the co-op genre further than ever. Developed by Hazelight Studios, the imaginative minds behind the 2021 Game of the Year winner with more than 20 million units sold worldwide, It Takes Two, comes a unique co-op action-adventure split-screen game where players will jump between sci-fi and fantasy worlds. With a wide range of ever-changing abilities, players will take on the roles of Mio and Zoe as they work together to take back their creative legacies and discover the power of an unexpected friendship.
In Split Fiction, players will discover a variety of sci-fi and fantasy mechanics and abilities. Escape a sun that’s going supernova, challenge a monkey to a dance battle, try out some cool hoverboard tricks, fight an evil kitty and ride everything from gravity bikes to a sandshark. With worlds that are entirely different from each other, surprising challenges await players at every turn.
Mio and Zoe are contrasting writers, one of sci-fi and the other of fantasy, who become trapped in their own stories after being hooked up to a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. Jumping back and forth between worlds, they’ll have to work together and master a variety of abilities in order to break free with their memories intact.
A Hazelight staple feature, Friend’s Pass, which allows one player who owns the game to invite a friend to play for free, is back and pushed even further with cross-play options enabled for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam.
Further information will be announced on December 13.
