Hazelight Studios has exciting news for gamers eagerly awaiting their next co-op masterpiece: Split Fiction has officially gone gold! This marks a significant milestone in the game's development, signaling that the core development is complete, and the team is now focused on final polish before its March 6 launch.

The announcement comes hot on the heels of a new co-op gameplay trailer that further ignited fan excitement. First unveiled at The Game Awards 2024, Split Fiction is the latest project from the studio behind the acclaimed 2021 Game of the Year winner, It Takes Two.  Following in its predecessor's footsteps, Split Fiction focuses on a two-player split-screen cooperative experience.

Game director Josef Fares shared the exciting news on Twitter, encouraging fans to 'get ready' for the upcoming release. Reaching gold status weeks ahead of the scheduled launch bodes well for an on-time release, although unforeseen delays can sometimes occur.  The recent trailer and Fares' enthusiastic message have fans buzzing with anticipation.

Following the immense success of It Takes Two, Split Fiction quickly became one of 2025's most anticipated releases. The recent gameplay trailer showcased impressive visuals and dynamic action sequences spanning both sci-fi and fantasy settings. The game promises a compelling main narrative intertwined with engaging side quests,  transformative character abilities, and epic boss encounters.

Fares has hinted that Split Fiction will push the boundaries of gaming innovation even further than It Takes Two.  With the game now gold, players won't have to wait much longer to experience these advancements firsthand.

Achieving gold status is a major accomplishment in game development.  This achievement positions Split Fiction to join the ranks of Hazelight Studios' other celebrated titles. Split Fiction launches on March 6 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
