According to Variety, the critically acclaimed co-op action adventure game, Split Fiction, is set to be adapted into a film. The report highlights that the movie rights are being hotly pursued by several top Hollywood studios, resulting in a rush to assemble a package for the adaptation. Story Kitchen, a media company known for its expertise in turning games and other non-traditional IPs into film and TV projects, is spearheading the effort. This company, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, has an impressive track record, having worked on the film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' It Takes Two, as well as the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. At this point, further details about the Split Fiction film adaptation remain under wraps.
This news follows the announcement that Split Fiction has achieved remarkable sales, with over two million copies sold within its first week of release. This milestone underscores the game's popularity and appeal among gamers. IGN's review praised the title as an "unmissable co-op adventure" that remains "fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration," further cementing its reputation as a must-play experience.
In other news from Hazelight Studios, director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the studio is already working on its next game, continuing their streak of innovative and engaging titles in the gaming industry.
