Hazelight Studios continues to stand out in the gaming industry with its unique approach to co-op gaming. Their innovative feature where only one player needs to purchase the game, yet two can play together, remains a rarity in the market. This has enabled Hazelight to carve out a distinct niche for itself. A notable limitation in their earlier titles was the absence of crossplay, which many felt was a missed opportunity given the cooperative nature of their games.
Exciting news for fans: Hazelight has confirmed that their upcoming game, Split Fiction, will feature crossplay. This means players on different platforms can finally enjoy the game together seamlessly. The studio will continue to utilize the Friend's Pass system, allowing two players to enjoy the game with only one copy purchased, though both will need an EA account to play.
In a move to further engage the community, Hazelight has also announced a demo version of Split Fiction. This demo will give players a taste of the game's cooperative gameplay, and any progress made in the demo can be carried over to the full version. This is a fantastic opportunity for gamers to experience the game before its full release.
Split Fiction is set to immerse players in a range of diverse settings, but at its heart, the game will delve into the intricacies of human relationships, offering a simple yet profound narrative. Mark your calendars, as Split Fiction is slated for release on March 6 and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series.
