One of the most delightful surprises of the year is Hazelight’s Split Fiction, which recently captured attention due to its remarkable sales figures. According to EA’s latest financial report, the game has sold nearly 4 million copies since its launch.

Hazelight is known for its impressive co-op titles like A Way Out and It Takes Two, and Split Fiction continues in this esteemed tradition. Notably, it achieved a remarkable milestone of selling 1 million copies within just two days of release.

The positive reception of the game has prompted Hazelight to confirm its success on social media: “4 MILLION SOLD!!!! So many of you have picked up Split Fiction already, it’s amazing… Seeing the fun you have with our game and the love you show for Mio, Zoe, and each other warms our hearts here at Hazelight. And so many hot dogs made…”

Additionally, there are discussions about adapting Split Fiction into a film in collaboration with Story Kitchen, though Josef Fares remains skeptical about the project’s progression: “I’ll believe it when I see it”.

With this success, it is clear that Hazelight Studios is likely to continue delivering original cooperative experiences, reaffirming their stance against creating live service games with statements like: “Never.”

This narrative sets the stage for Hazelight’s next efforts in co-op gaming.
