Hazelight and EA Originals teaming up for Split Fiction

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that Split Fiction from Hazelight Studios and EA Originals has piqued my interest significantly. Having played It Takes Two, I can attest to the studio’s knack for creating engaging co-op experiences that push the boundaries of the genre. The return of the friend’s pass and crossplay is a welcome addition, making it easier than ever to share this adventure with a buddy without breaking the bank.

Hazelight Studios, in partnership with EA Originals, have unveiled their upcoming project titled Split Fiction, which is being developed by the same talented team that brought us It Takes Two.

If you’ve experienced the Game of the Year title, It Takes Two, you won’t be taken aback to learn that Split Fiction is another game centered around cooperation. The publisher describes it as an action-adventure game that significantly expands the boundaries of the cooperative genre. Additionally, the friend’s pass feature is making a return, allowing you to play with a friend without separately purchasing two copies. What’s more, this time around, crossplay has been implemented as well.

In the game Split Fiction, players can expect to encounter diverse sci-fi and fantasy elements, including:

Mio and Zoe are distinct authors, one specializing in science fiction and the other in fantasy, who find themselves ensnared within their own narratives once connected to a device created for the purpose of capturing their creative thoughts. Navigating between realms, they’ll need to collaborate and develop numerous skills to escape unscathed, preserving their memories along the way.

10 years ago, we at Hazelight embarked on the journey of creating cooperative games, constantly surpassing the expectations for action-adventure co-op gaming experiences. I’m incredibly proud to be part of this team as we bring you Split Fiction. Let me share with you, this game is going to leave you astonished!

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t help but marvel at the extraordinary bonding experiences that come from playing fantastic cooperative games – and it’s no secret that Hazelight knocks it out of the park! I’m thrilled to announce our ongoing collaboration with Josef and his brilliant team. Together, we aim to craft another groundbreaking, collaborative journey that will push the limits and reshape what gamers can encounter together, both within the game world and beyond the screen.

On March 6th, 2025, the game titled “Split Fiction” will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, as well as on PC through Steam, Epic Games Store, and Origin (EA app).
