Hazelight Studios, known for its standout co-op games like It Takes Two, is working on its next project following the success of Split Fiction. Director Josef Fares discussed the studio's strong relationship with EA, emphasizing that Hazelight freely determines its creative direction without interference from the publisher. While details about the new game remain under wraps due to its early development stage, Fares expressed immense excitement for what’s next, highlighting that the studio thrives on creating innovative co-op experiences. Split Fiction has already made a significant impact, achieving impressive sales figures shortly after its launch.

While specific details are scarce, Fares mentioned that the team has only recently begun work on the new title and that it will be an exciting follow-up to their existing co-op successes. Fans of Hazelight can look forward to another innovative gameplay experience rooted in co-op play, continuing the studio's legacy in that genre.

Hazelight Studios made waves in the gaming community with its unique storytelling and gameplay mechanics focused on cooperation, revolutionizing how players interact in games. Their previous title, It Takes Two, won numerous awards and received critical acclaim for its engaging gameplay and heartfelt narrative, solidifying Hazelight’s reputation in the co-op gaming scene. With Split Fiction achieving significant success upon its release and already selling over 2 million copies in its first week, expectations are high for what the studio will produce next.

Hazelight’s knack for blending innovative co-op mechanics with heartfelt storytelling is a rare combo, and it’s refreshing to see them thrive under EA’s supportive partnership. Whatever they’re cooking up next, you just know it’s going to be another wild, emotional ride that redefines how we play together.

It’s awesome to see Hazelight staying true to their co-op roots while keeping creative freedom—EA’s hands-off approach seems to be paying off big time. Can’t wait to see how they push the boundaries of co-op gameplay again, especially after the emotional and inventive highs of *It Takes Two*.
