Hazelight Studios continues to stand out in the gaming industry with its unique approach to cooperative gameplay. Their innovative feature, where only one player needs to purchase the game while two can enjoy it together, remains a distinctive aspect that sets them apart. Despite this, a notable limitation in their earlier titles was the absence of crossplay, which many felt was a missed opportunity given the co-op nature of their games.
Excitingly, Hazelight has addressed this with their upcoming game, Split Fiction, which will indeed support crossplay. The developers have officially confirmed this feature, ensuring that players across different platforms can join in the fun. The beloved Friend's Pass system will return, allowing two players to play together with just one copy of the game, although both will need an EA account to participate.
In a further boost to player engagement, Hazelight has announced the availability of a demo version for Split Fiction. This demo allows potential buyers to experience the game alongside a friend, with the added benefit of being able to carry over their progress to the full version upon purchase.
Split Fiction aims to immerse players in a range of diverse settings, yet it will primarily delve into the essence of simple yet profound human relationships. The game is slated for release on March 6 and will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, promising a compelling addition to Hazelight's distinctive catalog.
