According to Variety, the acclaimed co-op action adventure game, Split Fiction, is set to receive a film adaptation. The news comes as multiple top Hollywood studios have made offers for the movie rights, prompting a swift response from Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in turning games and other non-traditional properties into films and TV shows. Story Kitchen, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, is currently assembling a comprehensive package that includes the project's writers, director, and cast. This team previously handled the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' other hit game, It Takes Two, and has also been involved in successful projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. At this stage, further details about the Split Fiction film adaptation remain under wraps.
Adding to the excitement surrounding Split Fiction, it was announced earlier this month that the game sold over two million copies in its first week on the market. This impressive sales figure underscores the game's popularity and appeal. IGN's review praised Split Fiction as an unmissable co-op adventure, highlighting its ability to remain fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration.
In related news, Hazelight Studios' director, Josef Fares, confirmed earlier this week that the studio is already working on its next game. This announcement keeps the momentum going for Hazelight, following the success and anticipation surrounding Split Fiction and its upcoming film adaptation.
