Hazelight Studios continues to distinguish itself in the gaming industry with its innovative approach. Their unique feature where only one player needs to purchase the game to enable two to play together has not been widely adopted by other developers, allowing Hazelight to maintain a distinctive niche. A notable limitation in their earlier titles was the absence of crossplay, which many felt was a natural enhancement for their cooperative gameplay model.
Exciting news for fans: the upcoming game, Split Fiction, will introduce crossplay, a feature officially confirmed by the developers. Moreover, the beloved Friend’s Pass system returns, meaning only one copy of the game is necessary for two players to enjoy the experience together, although both will need an EA account.
To build anticipation, Hazelight has released a demo version of Split Fiction, giving players the opportunity to dive into the game with a friend. Impressively, any progress made in the demo can be transferred to the full version upon purchase.
Split Fiction is set to immerse players in a diverse array of settings while keeping its focus on exploring simple yet profound human relationships. Mark your calendars for the game’s launch on March 6, when it will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
