Exciting news for fans of the acclaimed co-op action adventure, Split Fiction, as Variety reports that the game is set to receive a film adaptation. The buzz around the project has led to multiple top Hollywood studios vying for the movie rights. Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in adapting games and other non-traditional properties into film and TV, is currently putting together a package that includes the project's writers, director, and cast. This same team successfully handled the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' previous hit, It Takes Two. Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, has an impressive portfolio that includes the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While details about the Split Fiction film are scarce at this point, the anticipation is palpable.
Adding to the thrill, Split Fiction recently achieved a remarkable milestone by selling over two million copies within its first week on the market. This achievement underscores the game's widespread appeal and success. 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 director Josef Fares announced earlier this week that the studio is already working on its next game, keeping fans eagerly awaiting what's next from the innovative game developer.
