Jump into mind-blowing moments and experience the many worlds of Split Fiction"", a boundary-pushing co-op adventure from the studio behind It Takes Two. Master a variety of abilities and overcome diverse challenges while jumping between sci-fi and fantasy worlds!

As always with Hazelight, only need one copy to play with a friend online.

New trailer dropping on Monday at 17:00 GMT:

Still haven't decided if I'm pre-ordering this or what my plan is for it, but I know I'll definitely be trying to get to it this year.

Reviews dropped the other day for this, and it's currently at 91 on Metacritic (77 reviews) and 90 on Opencritic (71 reviews). 

Some reviews for your perusal:

MinnMax also did their rapid-fire questions (carrying on the spirit from GI's old videos, of course) with Josef Fares and it was awesome:

Can't believe this is how I find out his brother is one of the senators at the Rebellion war table in Rogue One! 

And details on how to play co-op online with the Friend's Pass:

Sounds like Fares and Hazelight have once again crushed it – to my surprise, this is their first 90+ rated game (by critics) on MC and OC, is the second 90+ game of the year (after Monster Hunter Wilds last week), and is the highest rated game of 2025 so far.

We've got a long way to go, of course, but seems like they'll once again be in the running for GOTY. We've come a long way from "f*ck the Oscars", and yet it feels Fares and team have kind of backed all of that talk up.
