It Takes Two follow-up is out soon after Game Awards reveal says leak-Adam Starkey-Entertainment – Metro

It Takes Two to make a hit (EA)

The studio behind It Takes Two and A Way Out looks set to announce its next game this month, and it might be out sooner than anticipated.

While Hazelight Studios saw some success with its first co-op game A Way Out, the studio’s big breakthrough hit was its successor It Takes Two.

The co-op platformer has sold over 20 million copies since it launched in March 2021, and picked up multiple Game Of The Year awards.

As such, expectation is now much higher for its next game, seemingly titled Split Fiction, and it looks like we’re mere days away from a reveal.

According to reliable leaker billbil-kun, a trailer for Split Fiction is set to be unveiled at some point this month – with the only logical conclusion being at The Game Awards on Friday, December 13.

This is particularly likely as both of Hazelight’s previous projects were revealed at the event, so it makes sense the third would follow suit.

Beyond the existence of a trailer, the leaker also claims Split Fiction will be announced with the release date of March 6, 2025.

While this might seem like a surprisingly quick turnaround, It Takes Two followed a similar rollout, where it was revealed at The Game Awards in 2020 and subsequently dropped on March 26, 2021.

It’s still unclear what Split Fiction actually is, but it’s highly likely it will be co-op orientated again. Hazelight founder Josef Fares previously teased it will ‘take everything to the next level’, so it’s no doubt attempting to build on what the studio has accomplished so far.

As we approach The Game Awards, several insiders have teased it could be a significant year in terms of reveals. VGC’s Andy Robinson has said to ‘fire up the hype train’ as he’s ‘expecting a VERY big Game Awards next week’.

He then clarified that this is ‘definitely not a guess’, when asked if it was a hint on X. This same post has been shared by The Verge’s Tom Warren, with the caption ‘same’.

Next week’s bash marks the 10th anniversary of The Game Awards, so there might be more big announcements than usual.

Last year, a trailer for GTA 6 was shown a few days prior to the event, but the much anticipated second trailer could also debut there. There’s a chance it could be a big showing from Xbox too, considering the Xbox Series X was revealed at the 2019 event.

It’s likely more leaks will emerge in the days leading up to the ceremony, with The Game Awards set to air on December 12 in the US and on Friday, December 13 in the UK from 1am.
