With each new week, eager gamers can look forward to fresh offerings hitting the Xbox store. Among the many exciting titles slated for release, one stands out: Hazelight Studios and Electronic Arts (EA) are bringing us Split Fiction, a game that’s already generating quite a buzz.
This latest adventure comes from the creative mind of Josef Fares, known for his knack for crafting engaging co-op games. Hazelight Studios, in partnership with EA since the 2017 release of A Way Out, has a solid track record. A Way Out was a runaway success, thanks to its novel gameplay design, and the 2021 hit It Takes Two cemented Hazelight’s reputation, earning the coveted Game of the Year award at the Game Awards 2021.
Now, with Split Fiction, the studio is venturing into the magical realms of fantasy and science fiction, expanding their signature co-op mechanics even further.
In addition to Split Fiction, players should also keep an eye out for Two Point Museum. This new offering from Two Point Studios promises an experience where meticulous planning becomes your key to curating the ultimate museum, enticing visitors with the wonders within.
