There are only two newreleases in 2025 that have earned a critic score of 90, andSplit Fictionis one of them, along with the recently released puzzle adventure gameBlue Prince. Similar to Hazelight’s former Game of the Year winnerIt Takes Two, Split Fiction is a split-screen multiplayer-only title, tasking two players with working together to complete a series of unique and difficult challenges. Its story follows two authors, Mio Hudson and Zoe Foster, who are pulled into the worlds of their stories and must escape a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. The smash hit was previously confirmed to be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 as a launch title, and some vital details about the port have now come to light.

As confirmed by Hazelight Studio Founder Josef Fares and Chief Operating Officer Oskar Wolontis in a new Creator’s Voice video,Split Fictionwill utilize theNintendo Switch 2’s GameShare and GameChat features, and players with the original Switch are also welcome to play with a Switch 2 owner.

Just days after the title’s release, afilm adaptation ofSplit Fictionwas announced, with the project being handled by the media company Story Kitchen. This isn’t the first time a Hazelight Studio game has been picked up for an adaptation, with both a film and TV series inspired byIt Takes Twocurrently in the works at dj2 Entertainment Studios.
