Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction—the critically acclaimed co-op action adventure is set to be adapted into a film, according to Variety. The report highlights that the movie rights have attracted interest from multiple top Hollywood studios, sparking a competitive bidding environment. Story Kitchen, the media company behind this exciting project, is currently assembling a package that includes the film's writers, director, and cast. This team previously handled the successful adaptation of Hazelight Studios' It Takes Two, and has also been involved in other notable projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While specific details remain under wraps, anticipation is building for what promises to be an engaging cinematic experience.
Adding to the momentum, Split Fiction recently celebrated a remarkable sales milestone, with over two million copies sold in its debut week. This achievement underscores the game's popularity and the eagerness of fans to dive into its cooperative gameplay. IGN's review praised Split Fiction as an unmissable adventure, highlighting its ability to remain fabulously fresh throughout its impressive 14-hour duration.
In related news, Hazelight Studios' director Josef Fares announced earlier this week that the studio is already hard at work on their next game, further solidifying their commitment to delivering innovative and engaging experiences to gamers worldwide.
