Fares Unveils Split Fiction Details

Josef Fares, the head of Hazelight Studios, recently shared exciting details about their upcoming game, Split Fiction, during an interview. He reiterated the studio's commitment to avoiding live-service models and microtransactions, stating, "We're not going public. No microtransactions. We focus solely on delivering great gaming experiences."

In a conversation with MinnMax, Fares revealed that Split Fiction's core narrative clocks in at approximately 12-14 hours, similar to the playtime of It Takes Two. With optional missions and extra content, players can expect a total playtime of 16-17 hours.

While Hazelight is known for its co-op games, Fares hinted at the possibility of exploring single-player titles in the future. He also mentioned that Split Fiction's budget is double that of It Takes Two, yet the studio has chosen to forgo post-launch DLC, ensuring all features are available from the game's launch. Split Fiction will be released worldwide on March 6th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
