Hazelight Studios continues to stand out in the gaming industry with its unique approach to cooperative gaming. Their innovative feature, where only one player needs to purchase the game yet two can enjoy it together, remains a rare gem in the market. This has allowed Hazelight to carve a distinct niche for itself. However, a notable shortcoming in their past titles was the absence of crossplay—a feature that seemed tailor-made for their co-op focused games.
Exciting news for fans: Hazelight's upcoming title, Split Fiction, will include crossplay. The developers have officially confirmed this eagerly awaited feature. Additionally, the beloved Friend's Pass system will return, meaning that only one copy of the game needs to be bought for two players to dive in together, though both will require an EA account.
In a further boost for potential players, Hazelight has also announced a demo version of Split Fiction. This demo allows players to experience the game together and offers the unique advantage of carrying over progress to the full game upon purchase.
Split Fiction is set to immerse players in a range of diverse settings, but at its heart, it will delve into simple yet profound human relationships. The game is slated for release on March 6 and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, promising to bring players together in meaningful ways.
