Hollywood Eyes Split Fiction for Movie Adaptation
According to Variety, the popular game Split Fiction is set to be adapted into a film, with multiple top Hollywood studios vying for the movie rights. Story Kitchen, a media company renowned for its expertise in adapting games and other non-traditional properties into films and TV shows, is spearheading the project. They are currently assembling a package that includes the writers, director, and cast. This team previously worked on the upcoming film adaptation of Hazelight Studios' game, It Takes Two. Story Kitchen, formerly known as dj2 Entertainment, has an impressive track record with projects like the Sonic the Hedgehog films and Netflix's Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. At this point, further details about the Split Fiction film adaptation remain undisclosed.
This news comes on the heels of Split Fiction's remarkable sales performance, having sold over two million copies within its first week of release. IGN praised the game as an unmissable co-op adventure that remains fabulously fresh throughout its entire 14-hour duration.
Additionally, Hazelight director Josef Fares recently confirmed that the studio is already working on its next game, keeping the momentum going strong for the acclaimed developer.
