Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction: the spectacular co-op action adventure is set to hit the big screen. According to Variety, the film adaptation is in the works, driven by multiple offers from top Hollywood studios. Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for transforming games and other non-traditional properties into films and TV shows, is spearheading the project. They are currently putting together a package that includes the writers, director, and cast. Notably, Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, successfully managed the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' previous game, It Takes Two. Their portfolio also includes the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While specific details remain under wraps, the anticipation is palpable.
Adding to the excitement, Split Fiction recently achieved a remarkable milestone by selling over two million copies within its first week of release. IGN's review praised the game as an unmissable co-op adventure that remains fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration. This success underscores the game's appeal and sets a promising stage for its cinematic journey.
In other news, Hazelight director Josef Fares announced earlier this week that the studio is already working on its next game. As fans eagerly await further updates on both the film adaptation of Split Fiction and Hazelight's upcoming project, the future looks bright for this innovative studio.
