More Than Just a Game: Split Fiction Is a Story Worth Sharing

by: Sangnila.

Split Fiction is a groundbreaking split-screen co-op adventure developed by Hazelight Studios (the makers of It Takes Two) and published by EA, blending sci-fi and fantasy through the intertwined stories of two writers, Mio and Zoe. Trapped inside their own creations after a failed simulation experiment, the duo must navigate surreal worlds shaped by their imaginations—Mio’s tech-driven sci-fi realms and Zoe’s magical fantasy landscapes—using their unique abilities to solve puzzles and overcome challenges together. Designed entirely around the split-screen experience, the game emphasizes collaboration, emotional storytelling, and varied gameplay, exploring deeper themes like trauma, creative exploitation, and corporate greed. With cross-play, a free Friend’s Pass, and stunning visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, Split Fiction offers a fresh, heartfelt co-op journey that redefines multiplayer storytelling.
