Exciting news for fans of Split Fiction—the popular co-op action adventure is set to hit the big screen! According to Variety, the film adaptation rights are in high demand, with "multiple top Hollywood studios" vying for the opportunity to bring the game to life. Story Kitchen, a renowned media company known for its expertise in adapting games and other unique properties into films and TV shows, is currently crafting a comprehensive package for the project. This includes securing the writers, director, and cast. The team at Story Kitchen, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, successfully handled the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' It Takes Two, and has been involved in other notable projects such as the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft.
While further details about the Split Fiction film adaptation remain under wraps, the momentum behind the game continues to build. Just this month, it was revealed that Split Fiction achieved remarkable success by selling over two million copies within its first week of release. IGN hailed the game as an "unmissable co-op adventure" that remains "fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration."
Adding to the excitement, Hazelight director Josef Fares recently announced that the studio is already hard at work on their next game, promising more innovative and engaging experiences for fans in the future.
