Split Fiction: From Video Game Sensation to Hollywood Blockbuster?
Hazelight Studios’ new game, Split Fiction, is making waves – and it’s caught Hollywood’s attention after just two weeks! This hit video game is now poised to become a major motion picture.
According to Variety, Hollywood studios are engaged in a fierce bidding war for the distribution rights to the Split Fiction movie. Casting, director selection, and the hunt for a screenwriter are already underway, suggesting the project is moving full steam ahead.
What’s Split Fiction About?
Split Fiction tells the story of Zoe and Mio, two aspiring authors who attend an event hoping to get their books published. Instead, they find themselves trapped inside a machine used by a corporation to steal their stories. The game follows their struggle to survive in each other’s fictional worlds and thwart the corporation’s scheme. This unique concept has resonated with gamers and sparked significant interest within the film industry.
Story Kitchen, the production company behind the It Takes Two film adaptation, is producing the Split Fiction movie. Several major studios are reportedly vying for the rights, driven by the game’s rapid success and its status as one of the year’s most talked-about titles.
While the release date is still unknown, production appears to be progressing quickly. Based on the current pace, the Split Fiction movie is expected to hit theaters before 2028. This follows a similar trajectory to the film adaptation of Hazelight Studios’ previous hit, It Takes Two.
