The popular video game Split Fiction is set to hit the big screen, as reported by Variety. The news comes in the wake of multiple top Hollywood studios vying for the movie rights, prompting the creation of a comprehensive package by Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in adapting games and other unique properties into films and TV shows. This team, which previously managed the adaptation of Hazelight Studios’ game It Takes Two, is now piecing together the writers, director, and cast for Split Fiction. Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, has a notable portfolio that includes the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. At this point, further details about the film adaptation remain under wraps.
Adding to the excitement, Split Fiction has achieved remarkable sales, with over two million copies sold within its first week of release. This success underscores the game's appeal and sets a promising stage for its cinematic journey. IGN's review praised Split Fiction as an essential co-op adventure, highlighting its ability to remain fabulously fresh throughout its entire 14-hour gameplay.
In other news from Hazelight Studios, director Josef Fares recently announced that the team is already hard at work on their next game, keeping fans eagerly anticipating what's next from the innovative studio.
