Exciting news for fans of the hit game Split Fiction—a film adaptation is in the works, according to Variety. The report indicates that the movie rights are in high demand, with offers pouring in from multiple top Hollywood studios. Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in adapting games and other unconventional properties into films and TV shows, is orchestrating the project. They're currently assembling a package that includes the film's writers, director, and cast. This is the same team behind the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' previous game, It Takes Two. Story Kitchen, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, also has a track record with projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. At this point, further details remain under wraps.
Adding to the excitement, Split Fiction recently achieved a remarkable milestone by selling over two million copies in its first week on sale. This spectacular co-op action adventure has been praised widely, with IGN's review describing it as an unmissable experience that remains fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration.
In related news, Hazelight director Josef Fares announced earlier this week that the studio is already working on its next game, keeping the momentum going strong for fans of their innovative gameplay.
