A ‘Split Fiction’ film is reportedly in development.
Split Fiction is reportedly set to get a movie treatment
Following the co-op shooter’s successful launch, Variety has reported a movie adaptation of the game is being worked on, and has attracted “multiple top Hollywood studios”.
According to the outlet, Story Kitchen - a media company specialising in adapting games and other non-traditional properties for film and TV - is currently assembling the project’s writers, director, and cast as part of a package deal.
This comes after ‘Split Fiction’ - which was developed by Hazelight Studios - celebrated its successful release, and sold over two million copies within the first week of launch (06.03.25).
On Bluesky, Hazelight posted: “‘Split Fiction’ has sold 2 MILLION copies in 1 WEEK!!
“Holy c***, we’re blown away! Simply amazing… Thank you to all of our new and old fans - we love how excited you are for our game!”
Within its first 48 hours, the game had sold one million units.
The studio celebrated: “The love you all show for our game is overwhelming. Everyone here at Hazelight is beyond happy - and we can't stop enjoying your amazing reactions!”
After its release, ‘Split Fiction’ enjoyed a peak concurrent player count of 259,000 on Steam, blowing Hazelight’s previous title ‘It Takes Two’ - which peaked at 71,000 concurrent players on Valve’s platform - out of the water.
