Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction—the popular co-op action adventure game is set to hit the big screen. According to Variety, the film adaptation is in the works, with multiple top Hollywood studios vying for the movie rights. Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in adapting games and other non-traditional properties into films and TV shows, is currently assembling a package deal that includes the project's writers, director, and cast. This is the same team that successfully brought Hazelight Studios' previous game, It Takes Two, to the screen. Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, has an impressive portfolio that includes the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While further details remain under wraps, the anticipation is already building.
Adding to the excitement, Split Fiction has been a massive success, selling over two million copies in its first week on sale. IGN's review praised the game as an unmissable co-op adventure that remains fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration. This success story continues to unfold as Hazelight director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the studio is already working on its next game, promising more innovative gaming experiences in the future.
