The launch of Split Fiction by Hazelight Studios and EA has proven to be a tremendous success. Within just two weeks, the game has ascended to become EA’s second all-time top seller on Steam. Exciting news follows, as a movie adaptation of Split Fiction is reportedly in the works, anticipated to spark a bidding war among Hollywood studios.
Hazelight is partnering with a media company known for its successful collaboration on the previous game, It Takes Two, to develop this project. The teams are actively working on assembling a talented cast, writers, and a director in preparation for the movie pitch.
The narrative of Split Fiction revolves around two young women, Zoe and Mio, strangers thrown together in an intertwining realm of the sci-fi and fantasy worlds they’ve crafted. To navigate their way back to reality, the duo must collaborate and leverage their unique skills to survive the challenges within this virtual landscape.
Notably, Split Fiction has made history as EA’s first game to achieve a Metacritic score of 90 or above since 2012’s Mass Effect 2. It also earned a noteworthy 10/10 rating in reviews. Recently, it was announced that Split Fiction has already sold two million copies, positioning it as a strong contender for the top-selling title of March.
