Hollywood Eyes Split Fiction for Movie Adaptation

Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction: the spectacular co-op action adventure is set to be adapted into a film, according to a report from Variety. The outlet reveals that multiple top Hollywood studios have been vying for the movie rights, prompting the creation of a package deal by Story Kitchen. This media company, known for its expertise in transforming games and other non-traditional properties into film and TV projects, is currently assembling the writers, director, and cast for the upcoming adaptation. Notably, Story Kitchen, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, was also behind the film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' previous hit, It Takes Two, as well as other notable projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While further details are scarce at this stage, the anticipation is palpable.

Adding to the excitement, Split Fiction has been a smashing success, selling over two million copies in its first week on sale. This impressive feat underscores the game's appeal and sets the stage for its transition to the big screen. IGN's review praised Split Fiction as an unmissable co-op adventure, noting that it remains fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration.

In other news, Hazelight director Josef Fares recently announced that the studio is already working on its next game, keeping the momentum going for fans of their innovative gameplay experiences.
