Split Fiction is scheduled to roll out in around three months' time, on March 6, 2025, as per information shared by billbil-kun on Dealabs. The Hazelight Studios game, which is rumored to feature splitscreen gameplay, is expected to land on both PC and consoles. However, there seem to be no leaks about exactly which consoles these might be. The report also mentions that fans will get the first trailer of Split Fiction this month, pointing to the forthcoming Game Awards set to take place on December 12.

It Takes Two Creator's Next Game May Be Revealed And Released Soon

As things stand, it looks likely that Hazelight could announce its next game at The Game Awards 2024, based on certain clues. In November, a different source had said that Split Fiction was set to be unveiled at the Geoff Keighley-hosted event, similar to billbil-kun's suggestion. Going further back to June, Hazelight Studios founder Josef Fares tweeted a photo of himself with Keighley, giving more reason to think the reveal is set to happen during the award show. On the other hand, the case for the rumored game's release date is consolidated by the fact that each of the developer's games so far has been released in March.

After leading the development of three well-received co-op games, including Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and the two Hazelight Studios games, it will be exciting to see what director Fares does next within the genre. Moreover, it will be interesting to see if Hazelight can meet the fans' high expectations stemming from It Takes Two's runaway success.
