Developed by Hazelight Studios, Electronic Arts' Split Fiction launched in March for Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

The cooperative multiplayer adventure game follows protagonists Mio and Zoe as they navigate their own fictional stories, set alternately in whimsical fantasy and dystopian sci-fi genre settings. The Original Soundtrack by Gustaf Grefberg and Jonatan Järpehag is now available for streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited.

Three preview tracks are streaming on publisher Lakeshore Records' YouTube channel.


Grefberg comments on the announcement post on Steam, "Since every chapter in Split Fiction is so different, we wanted to do things similarly to the visuals and the gameplay and throw the player into a new world of music. Sometimes the inspiration comes from common genres like trance or drum and bass or cinematic new age music. Other times the inspiration originated from a single instrument."

Split Fiction's Windows edition is available through Steam and the Epic Games Store, verified for use with the Steam Deck. Announced during the recent Nintendo Direct presentation, the Nintendo Switch 2 port is currently in development.


From the Steam page:
Embrace mind-blowing moments as you’re pulled deep into the many worlds of Split Fiction, a boundary-pushing co-op action adventure from the studio behind 2021 Game of the Year Winner, It Takes Two. Mio and Zoe are contrasting writers – one writes sci-fi and the other writes fantasy – who become trapped in their own stories after being hooked up to a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. They’ll have to rely on each other to break free with their memories in-tact, working together to master a variety of abilities and overcome diverse challenges while jumping between sci-fi and fantasy worlds in this unexpected tale of friendship.
