Get ready, gamers — Split Fiction is here! Hazelight Studios, the masterminds behind It Takes Two, have done it again, bringing us another mind-blowing co-op adventure. Published by Electronic Arts, Split Fiction is out now on Steam Deck and Linux (via Windows PC with Proton). And it’s already making headlines!

Yeah, it’s that good.
A Story Like No Other
Step into the shoes of Mio and Zoe, two aspiring writers who find themselves trapped inside a machine that steals creative ideas. To escape, they’ll have to work together — whether they like it or not — doing so by diving headfirst into their own unfinished stories. The result? A wild ride through sci-fi and fantasy worlds. Since each is full of unique challenges and surprises. This isn’t just co-op — it’s co-op on steroids.
Gameplay That Keeps You Guessing
Hazelight is known for shaking things up, and Split Fiction certainly takes their co-op formula to a whole new level. Every level brings something completely fresh. One moment, you’re dodging a supernova, and the next, you’re battling a breakdancing monkey. Wanna ride a sandshark, pull off sick hoverboard tricks, or fight an evil cat overlord? It’s all in here. So the variety is epic, and you’ll never know what’s coming next.

Side Stories = More Chaos
As Mio and Zoe jump through different worlds, they’ll find mysterious portals leading to Side Stories. These are also mini-adventures that throw them into even wilder scenarios. You might end up climbing a giant-infested mountain or waterskiing behind a flying train. You could also end up surfing across a desert on the backs of sandsharks. These moments aren’t just extra — they’re some of the best parts of this title.
