According to Variety, the critically acclaimed game Split Fiction is set to receive a film adaptation. The report indicates that the movie rights are in high demand, with "multiple top Hollywood studios" vying for the project. Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in adapting games and other non-traditional properties into films and TV shows, is spearheading the effort to package the project. They are currently assembling the writers, director, and cast for this exciting venture. Notably, Story Kitchen, previously known as dj2 Entertainment, was also behind the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' It Takes Two, as well as other successful projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. While further details remain under wraps, the anticipation for this adaptation is palpable.
Adding to the buzz around Split Fiction, it was recently announced that the co-op action adventure game sold over two million copies within its first week of release. IGN's review praised the game as an "unmissable co-op adventure" that remains "fabulously fresh for its full, 14-hour duration."
In other news from Hazelight Studios, director Josef Fares confirmed earlier this week that the studio is already hard at work on their next game, keeping fans eagerly awaiting what's next from the innovative developers.
