Hazelight Studios continues to stand out in the gaming industry with its unique approach to cooperative play. Their innovative feature, where only one player needs to purchase the game for two to enjoy it together, remains a distinctive element that sets them apart. While their earlier titles were celebrated, they lacked crossplay—a feature that many felt would enhance their co-op focused games. Fortunately, the wait is over; Hazelight has officially announced that their upcoming game, Split Fiction, will support crossplay, allowing players on different platforms to connect and play together seamlessly.
The Friend’s Pass system, a hallmark of Hazelight's games, will return in Split Fiction. This means that only one copy of the game is needed for two players to dive into the experience, although both will require an EA account to participate. This system not only makes gaming more accessible but also fosters a sense of community and shared adventure.
In an exciting development, Hazelight has also announced the availability of a demo for Split Fiction. This demo offers players a chance to experience the game's cooperative dynamics firsthand. Importantly, any progress made in the demo can be seamlessly transferred to the full game, ensuring that players can continue their journey without interruption.
Set to launch on March 6, Split Fiction will take players on a journey through a diverse array of settings. At its heart, the game will explore simple yet profound human relationships, promising an emotionally engaging narrative alongside its cooperative gameplay. Split Fiction will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, making it accessible to a wide audience eager to explore this unique co-op experience.
