In 2021, the beloved game It Takes Two captured the hearts of gamers and critics alike, selling a whopping 20 million copies and winning the prestigious Game of the Year award. Fans were eagerly anticipating the next project from its creator, Josef Fares, and their patience has finally paid off.
Fares recently unveiled his latest creation, and it seems to follow in the footsteps of It Takes Two with its focus on cooperative gameplay and a mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements. Despite the constant leaks in the gaming industry, surprisingly little was revealed about the game before its big reveal at The Game Awards 2024. However, one thing that did slip through the cracks was the title - Split Fiction.
This exciting new game caught the attention of many, not just because of its intriguing concept, but also because of Fares' signature colorful language during its unveiling. It was announced that Split Fiction will be hitting the shelves on March 6, much sooner than expected. The trailer showcased a unique gameplay mechanic for each level, ranging from snowboarding to riding on a dragon's back.
As the name suggests, Split Fiction features a split-screen effect similar to It Takes Two, but with a fresh new story. Players will take on the roles of two writers who find themselves trapped in a virtual reality world, designed to replicate their own fictional worlds. One side is filled with fantasy elements, while the other is set in a sci-fi universe.
Each level promises a different experience, with the gameplay mechanics evolving and building upon the previous ones. For instance, players may start off by hatching dragon eggs in one level, then riding on their backs in the next, and finally controlling them in their full-grown form. Another level involves rolling around in a morph ball, which then transforms into an exosuit in the next level. Fares also teased a level where players can take on the role of a pig and even a sausage, although it's uncertain whether this was a joke or not.
Fans will be pleased to know that Split Fiction will be released on March 6 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. And just like It Takes Two, only one copy of the game is needed to play with a friend in online co-op. This means that players won't have to shell out extra cash for the same experience. Instead, they can simply share a code with their friend, making for a cost-effective and inclusive gaming experience.
