Josef Fares is again and so is his penchant for cursing. The director of Hazelight Studios has returned to The Recreation Awards to debut his subsequent recreation: Break up Fiction.
Break up Fiction is a recreation that feels very a lot in Hazelight’s wheelhouse. Like It Takes Two and A Manner Out earlier than it, Break up Fiction is a two-person split-screen co-op recreation. In it, two recreation builders have been trapped in a world they created and should play collectively to flee.
It’s been a quiet however massively profitable handful of years for Hazelight Studios. In 2021, it took house Recreation of the Yr for It Takes Two wherein two gamers should work collectively to beat the myriad risks of their house (and their failing marriage) Honey, I Shrunk The Children-style.
Earlier this yr, the studio introduced that It Takes Two offered 20 million copies. Polygon did a deep dive into the sport’s gross sales numbers, figuring out that it offered at an astonishingly constant and enviable clip of half 1,000,000 copies monthly since its launch in March 2021. A very exceptional feat given the sport had little or no advertising and marketing exterior its preliminary launch window and at a time when most customers’ multiplayer tastes had been wrapped up in “eternally video games” like Name of Responsibility: Warzone and Fortnite. With bona fides like that, it’s secure to say of us can be taking a look at Break up Fiction, launching March sixth on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, with nice curiosity.
