Exciting news for fans of the acclaimed co-op action adventure, Split Fiction, as Variety reports that the game is set to be adapted into a film. The buzz around the movie rights has attracted offers from multiple top Hollywood studios, indicating high demand and anticipation for this project.
The adaptation is being spearheaded by Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in transforming games and other non-traditional properties into compelling film and TV projects. This is the same team that successfully brought Hazelight Studios' previous hit, It Takes Two, to the big screen. Story Kitchen, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, has an impressive track record with projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. They are currently in the process of assembling a package that includes the film's writers, director, and cast.
While specific details about the Split Fiction film adaptation remain under wraps, the news comes on the heels of the game's remarkable sales success. Earlier this month, it was revealed that Split Fiction sold over two million copies in its first week on sale, a testament to its popularity and the engaging co-op experience it offers. IGN's review praised the game as an unmissable co-op adventure, highlighting its ability to stay fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration.
Adding to the excitement, Hazelight director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the studio is already working on its next game, promising more innovative gaming experiences in the future.
