Hollywood Eyes Split Fiction for Movie Adaptation

Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction—the popular co-op action adventure game is now set to hit the big screen. Variety has reported that the film rights have sparked interest from multiple top Hollywood studios, leading to a swift response in packaging the movie adaptation. Story Kitchen, the media company renowned for turning games and other unique properties into cinematic experiences, is at the helm of assembling the project's key talent, including writers, a director, and the cast. This is the same team that brought us the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios’ previous hit, It Takes Two. Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, also boasts impressive credentials with projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While specific details are yet to be disclosed, anticipation is already building for this new venture.

Adding to the excitement, Split Fiction has been on a roll. Just earlier this month, it was confirmed that the game sold over two million copies within its first week of release, a testament to its widespread appeal. IGN’s review hailed Split Fiction as an "unmissable co-op adventure" that remains "fabulously fresh" throughout its impressive 14-hour duration.

In other news from Hazelight Studios, director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the team is already hard at work on their next game, keeping the momentum going strong for fans of their innovative storytelling and gameplay.
