As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled about the latest sneak peek from Hazelight Studios on their upcoming split-screen co-op game, Split Fiction. This esteemed studio, renowned for hits like It Takes Two and A Way Out, is once again pushing the boundaries of cooperative gaming. With Split Fiction going gold, as announced by Hazelight Studios director Josef Fares, we’ve been graced with a new trailer today that showcases its distinctive couch co-op gameplay and the intriguing one-time adventures called Side Stories. As we countdown to the March release, I can hardly contain my excitement about the potential explorations within the worlds of Split Fiction.
The fresh trailer showcases two distinct realms: a thrilling sci-fi world filled with gravity-defying motorcycle chases and stunts, and a mystical fantasy realm inhabited by characters transforming into fairies and giant monkey creatures. Interestingly, the gaming experience varies depending on your character, as one player might navigate through the sky while another explores the ground. This innovative gameplay style garnered acclaim when ‘It Takes Two’ was released, but in ‘Split Fiction’, it seems the diversity is even more expansive.

The video additionally offers a peek into Side Stories, extra tales tucked away within the main storylines that can be played. As you and another player assume the roles of Mio and Zoe, two writers trapped in their own sci-fi and fantasy narratives, you’ll encounter enigmatic gateways spanning across the two realms. These peculiar openings will transport you to unique worlds and locations, all derived from incomplete stories conceived by the younger selves of the writers. The era these tales belong to, hinted by their age, promises a wildly entertaining yet delightful journey for players.
In some of these side tales, our main characters will experience various adventures such as scaling a mountain inhabited by giants and racing Sandfish across vast deserts. One such adventure was previewed in the trailer at The Game Awards 2024, where Mio and Zoe were magically turned into pigs to uncover the secrets of sausage making. This offbeat imagination is characteristic of Josef Fares, a developer known for his unconventional yet intriguing storytelling within the cooperative gaming genre.
On March 6th, the game will debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, bringing joy to fans as it has been declared “gold,” which signifies it’s ready for release. Normally, games reach this milestone close to their launch date, but with Split Fiction reaching this stage earlier than usual, we can assure you that Hazelight Studios is optimistic about the arrival of their upcoming split-screen title. Upon its release, players can embark on two intertwined stories simultaneously with a friend in local co-op or online through Friend Pass, meaning both players only need one copy of the game. It’s quite possible that we might witness another memorable experience similar to It Takes Two with Split Fiction this spring.
