Hazelight Studios has set the stage for an exhilarating two-player cooperative adventure with their latest release, promising to surpass the heights reached by their previous projects. The developers are teasing fans with stunningly crafted locations, a deeply engaging narrative, and a plethora of quests designed to draw players into the immersive world of Split Fiction. The game not only offers a captivating main campaign but also invites players to delve into side stories filled with unexpected twists and surprises. These additional quests introduce new areas to explore and unique activities, providing even more reasons to wander and engage with the game's rich environment.
The gaming community is buzzing with excitement, labeling Split Fiction as one of the most eagerly awaited co-op hits of the year. Following the successful launch of It Takes Two three years ago, Hazelight Studios has not rested on their laurels. In May, they rolled out a significant patch for their cooperative adventure game, which was detailed on Steam. This update marks a pivotal shift towards catering more directly to the core Steam player base. Notably, the game has been liberated from the requirement of the EA launcher and is now fully compatible with the Steam Deck.
The patch introduces seamless integration with Steam, allowing players to invite their Steam friends directly to join the adventure. Moreover, Steam Family Sharing is now fully supported, enhancing the game's accessibility and community engagement. While an EA account is still required to connect to EA servers, local play has been streamlined through Steam Remote Play, eliminating the need for an EA account in this mode. This move by Hazelight Studios showcases their commitment to enhancing the player experience and making their cooperative masterpiece more accessible to a broader audience.
