Fares Unveils Split Fiction Details

Josef Fares, the visionary behind Hazelight Studios, recently revealed key details about their highly anticipated game, Split Fiction, during an interview. Reiterating previous statements, Fares underscored Hazelight's unwavering commitment to a player-centric approach, firmly rejecting live-service models and microtransactions. The studio's independence remains paramount, with no plans for an IPO or acquisition by a larger company. Fares stated definitively, "We're not going public. No microtransactions. We focus solely on delivering great gaming experiences."

In a conversation with MinnMax, Fares shared that Split Fiction's core narrative clocks in at approximately 12-14 hours, mirroring the playtime of their acclaimed title, It Takes Two. However, with optional missions and extra content, players can anticipate a total playtime extending to 16-17 hours.

While Hazelight is renowned for its collaborative co-op experiences, Fares hinted at the potential for future single-player ventures. He also revealed that Split Fiction's budget is double that of It Takes Two, yet the studio has opted against post-launch DLC, guaranteeing a complete and polished experience from day one. Split Fiction launches worldwide on March 6th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
