Hazelight Studios, known for popular co-op titles like A Way Out and It Takes Two, is reportedly working on its next game titled Split Fiction, according to a leak. The studio’s founder, Josef Fares, had teased the project on X (formerly Twitter) last week, and now a trusted leaker, billbil-kun, has revealed the alleged title of the upcoming game.
Hazelight Studios’ Next Game: Split Fiction
The leak aligns with teasers posted by Fares, who hinted at the new IP with the initials “S**** ******N” and expressed excitement about the project. Hazelight Studios later confirmed that the game is a new intellectual property (IP) under the *EA Originals* label, though no additional official details have been provided.
The name Split Fiction suggests that the game will likely follow a split-screen co-op format, similar to Hazelight’s previous games. A Way Out and It Takes Two both featured dynamic split-screen gameplay, a signature style of Fares’ storytelling and game design. The new title, which has reportedly been in development for at least two years, is expected to continue the studio’s tradition of immersive, narrative-driven cooperative experiences.
While the official release date for Split Fiction has not been confirmed, further details and the full reveal of the title are anticipated soon. With Hazelight’s reputation for innovative co-op gameplay, Split Fiction is shaping up to be another exciting addition to the studio’s portfolio.
