Split Fiction Teases Next Game After Players Conquer Secret Level

Mar 19, 2025 10:44 PM

Split Fiction, a new co-op adventure game from Hazelight Studios, has gained significant attention after its secret level, Laser Hell, was completed by two players who are now invited to preview the studio's upcoming project. This notoriously challenging level requires players to skillfully navigate a five-stage laser gauntlet, rewarding them with a special video message from director Josef Fares upon success. Fares praised the players for their remarkable achievement, which is reportedly one of the hardest internal challenges at Hazelight. The new game remains shrouded in mystery, as it is still in the early development stages, but anticipation is high following the critical success of Split Fiction, the sequel to the acclaimed It Takes Two.

What makes the Laser Hell level in Split Fiction so difficult?

The Laser Hell level features a five-stage gauntlet of lasers that require precise movement and timing to navigate, making it one of the toughest challenges even for the game's developers.

Split Fiction, the follow-up to Hazelight's award-winning It Takes Two, has already sold over 2 million copies since its release and received rave reviews, cementing its status as one of the most creative co-op games to date. Players are eager to see how Hazelight will build upon this success in their next project, given their track record for innovative gameplay and storytelling.

Josef Fares and Hazelight are really out here making co-op games that feel like a mix of therapy and a trust fall—Laser Hell sounds like the ultimate relationship test. Can’t wait to see what chaos they cook up next, because if it’s anything like Split Fiction, we’re in for another wild ride.
