Josef Fares confirms a new project is underway following the success of Split Fiction.
After Split Fiction’s huge success, Josef Fares, founder of Hazelight Studios, has confirmed that the company is working on a brand-new game. Fans got the news straight from Josef Fares on social media.
Fares shared a picture from a motion-capture studio on his personal X account with the words “Next game in the making.” The short report says that Hazelight’s next project is already being made. Details about the new game are still a secret for now, but the news shows that the studio is still focused on new experiences after becoming known for cooperative stories.
Reports say that work on the project began in early 2025, and Fares has been very excited about it, which suggests that the team is sure of what they are making. Split Fiction, which quickly found fans all over the world, is a big reason why people are so excited about the new game.
The new game picks up where Split Fiction was left.
In its first week, the cooperative adventure sold two million copies. In just 48 hours, Split Fiction sold its first million units. Electronic Arts, the game’s publisher, also talked about it in a financial report, saying that it was a big part of their strong quarterly performance.
Fans are already wondering whether the company will add to its well-known co-op formula or try something completely new, since it is working on another Hazelight game.
