Hazelight Studios and Josef Fares, owner of one of the most controversial catchphrases at The Game Awards, have had some very original co-op game ideas in recent years. As an example, we have A Way Out and the 2021 GOTY, It Takes Two. Now, the Swedish studio appears to be ready to announce its new project — which, apparently, is called Split Fiction.
The new game, which will also be distributed by EA, was announced by Fares himself in a publication on X last Thursday (17). However, the official name was not mentioned at the time, with the director stating that it is “a new IP called S**** ******N”.
The post was later cited by the official Hazelight account, which posted a script image with several notes that include the phrase “co-op.” It certainly didn’t take long for fans to conclude that the studio would be working on another game of this genre.

“Now that you mention it, didn’t you drop it here in the office, Josef?”, says the post on the social network.
According to a famous insider, Hazelight’s new game is called Split Fiction
The official name of the new project has not yet been officially revealed — but this should happen soon, according to Fares himself. However, according to information from Billbil-kun, an insider with good credibility in the industry, the new game from Hazelight Studios is called Split Fiction.
In publication in Dealabsthe French insider also comments that the way the game divides the screen will play an important role in the gameplay mechanics. The image published by Hazelight on X also includes some sketches showing a screen being split in various directions, so it looks like some kind of mechanic dedicated specifically to this will be one of the main features of the experience.
Hazelight specializes in cooperative games
Of course, it’s worth remembering that Hazelight specializes in cooperative adventures, with A Way Out e It Takes Two being the company’s two greatest assets. Their devotion to the genre is so great that both titles can only be played in co-op — online or local.

In an interview with VGC in 2022, Fares told the outlet that the studio’s next game would be “a surprise in a good way” and added, “it’s definitely going in the right direction and will be something really, really cool.”
It is worth remembering that The official name of the game has not yet been officially revealed. Therefore, treat information with caution — because they are mere rumors.
