Hazelight Studios continues to stand out in the gaming industry with its unique approach to cooperative gameplay. Their innovative Friend's Pass system, where only one player needs to purchase the game for two to play together, remains a distinctive feature not widely adopted elsewhere. This system has allowed Hazelight to carve a unique niche in the market. However, a notable limitation in their earlier titles was the absence of crossplay—a feature that seemed ideal for their co-op focused games.
Exciting news for fans: Hazelight has confirmed that their upcoming game, Split Fiction, will include crossplay. This means players on different platforms can enjoy the game together, enhancing the cooperative experience. The Friend's Pass system will also return, requiring only one copy of the game for two players to dive in, though both will need an EA account.
In a further boost for potential players, Hazelight has announced a demo version of Split Fiction. This demo offers a chance for players to experience the game together before its full release. Notably, any progress made in the demo can be seamlessly carried over to the full version, ensuring a smooth transition for those who decide to purchase the game.
Split Fiction promises to guide players through a range of diverse settings, all while focusing on the essence of human relationships—simple yet profound. Mark your calendars; the game is set to launch on March 6 and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, offering a wide range of platforms for players to enjoy this unique co-op adventure.
