Hazelight Studios’ Split fiction is getting a film adaptation

Earlier this month, the team at Hazelight Studios celebrated the launch of their latest title Split Fiction – revealing that the game had sold over 2 million copies in a single week. The title’s early success seems to have resonated across mediums, with a film adaptation of Split fiction said to be now in the works.

As reported by Variety, the highly successful and recently-released local co-op title from Hazelight Studios – Split fiction – is set to get a film adaptation, with a “bidding war” said to be currently ongoing.

Interestingly, this won’t be the first adaptation of one of Hazelight’s projects, with 2021’s It Takes Two previously confirmed to be getting a film, though we’ve heard little from the project since its announcement.

Regardless, the consistency at which Josef Fares / Hazelight’s games are being turned into movies is interesting to see, especially as Fares himself started out as a film director before getting into game development.

While we have yet to get any official confirmation of the adaptation, Variety has claimed that work is already underway on the project, with media company Story Kitchen currently “putting together” the cast list, director, writers and more.

Hazelight Studios’ games are well known for their focus on story. Equally however, the titles are celebrated for their creativity within the interactive medium of gaming. As such, it will be interesting to see how both It Takes Two and now Split Fiction wind up performing on the silver screen.
