Split Fiction Director Congratulates Players on Beating Secret Level, Invites Them to See Next Hazelight Game

by

As a gaming enthusiast, I’ve encountered many hidden levels in games over the years, but the recently uncovered secret level in Hazelight Studios’ latest co-op game, “Split Fiction,” has truly left an impression. Known as Laser Hell, this challenging level was successfully navigated by the swift duo of speedrunners E1uM4y and sharkOvO from China. If you’re curious to see their incredible run, check out the video below!

The unique aspect of this level lies in the ending where game director Josef Fares appears in a video. In this video, Fares acknowledges the players for successfully completing the level, even mentioning that only a select few from the development team managed to accomplish it.

In the video, Fares exclaims, “Wow, incredible!” He explains that very few members of their team were capable of completing it, and it required considerable effort and time. He goes on to emphasize that what they’ve accomplished is an exceptionally challenging feat.

Additionally, Fares encourages viewers who are watching this post-level video on YouTube to give the game a try themselves. This is the best way to truly grasp the level’s difficulty, he suggests. If players manage to complete the video, they will be extended an invitation to Sweden for a sneak peek at the upcoming game that Hazelight is working on right now.

Fares adds, “I’m not speaking to those watching this on YouTube. If you find this video on YouTube, please play the game instead. It’s an incredibly tough task, but if you’re playing the game right now and see this video, I’m truly impressed.

I have something to share. If you manage to demonstrate to me, in person, that you’ve completed a specific challenge, I guarantee that the first person to do so will win a trip to Sweden, where I’ll show you footage of our upcoming game.

Afterward, Fares made clear that he would fulfill his pledge by posting about it on social media platform X, extending his congratulations to the two athletes as well.

Bravo to ‘sharkOvO’ and ‘E1uM4y’ for successfully completing the hidden task ‘Laser Hell’ in Split Fiction! Your performance was truly remarkable. I’m delighted to say that I will hold up my end of the bargain and extend invitations for you both to Sweden, where we can preview our upcoming game together. We’ll be reaching out soon!

It’s been announced that the studio has begun development on their next game following the release of Split Fiction. In a podcast interview, Fares expressed his immense enthusiasm about this upcoming project, hinting at potential cooperative gameplay based on Hazelight’s past work. As of now, further details regarding this new title remain undisclosed.
