Hollywood Eyes Split Fiction for Movie Adaptation

Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction—the popular co-op action adventure game is set to be adapted into a film, as reported by Variety. The buzz around the game has attracted offers from multiple top Hollywood studios, prompting a swift response to secure the movie rights. Story Kitchen, a media powerhouse known for transforming games and other unique properties into cinematic experiences, is at the helm of this project. They are currently assembling a talented team of writers, a director, and a cast to bring the world of Split Fiction to the big screen. Notably, the same team successfully handled the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' previous hit, It Takes Two. Story Kitchen, formerly dj2 Entertainment, also boasts an impressive portfolio that includes the Sonic the Hedgehog films and the Netflix series Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While details remain under wraps, anticipation is already building for this exciting adaptation.

The good news for Split Fiction doesn't stop there. Just earlier this month, it was announced that the game had achieved remarkable success by selling over two million copies within its first week on the market. This stunning achievement underscores the game's widespread appeal and the demand for its unique co-op experience. IGN's review praised Split Fiction as an unmissable adventure, highlighting how it remains fabulously fresh throughout its entire 14-hour duration.

Adding to the momentum, Hazelight director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the studio is already hard at work on its next game. This news further cements Hazelight Studios' reputation as a trailblazer in the gaming industry, consistently delivering innovative and engaging experiences for players around the world.
