Hazelight Studios, the creators of the acclaimed It Takes Two, returns with Split Fiction, an innovative co-op action-adventure.  This new title promises a captivating experience for two players, immersing them in a dynamic narrative that seamlessly blends elements of science fiction and fantasy.

Split Fiction thrusts players into the roles of Mio and Zoe, two contrasting writers who find themselves inexplicably trapped within the very worlds they've created.  Their escape hinges on their ability to cooperate, navigate diverse environments, and unravel the mysteries behind their predicament.

Following its initial reveal, Split Fiction received a dedicated gameplay trailer showcasing its core mechanics and diverse levels.  One striking environment highlighted a vibrant cyberpunk metropolis, underscoring the game's commitment to visual variety.

The trailer, narrated by director Josef Fares, emphasizes Hazelight's focus on gameplay diversity.  Players can expect an ever-evolving mix of challenges, ranging from high-speed chases and gravity-defying acrobatics to strategic combat against formidable foes. The trailer showcased Mio and Zoe engaging in activities like wall-running, bike racing, space navigation, grappling hook maneuvers, battling a giant robot, diving, water-skiing, interacting with fantastical creatures, and even shapeshifting.

Beyond the main narrative, Split Fiction introduces intriguing side quests, termed "stories," offering further glimpses into Mio and Zoe's past and the circumstances leading to their current situation.  These optional adventures promise unique gameplay experiences distinct from the main story, adding another layer of depth to the co-op journey.
