Hollywood Bidding War Erupts Over 'Split Fiction' Movie Adaptation

Story Kitchen is assembling a creative team for the film based on Hazelight Studios' hit co-op video game, with no studio yet attached.

'Split Fiction,' a co-op game from Hazelight Studios, has sold over two million copies in its first week after its March 6, 2025 release.
Story Kitchen, known for adapting 'It Takes Two,' is developing the movie and is recruiting writers, a director, and cast members.
A bidding war among major Hollywood studios is underway for the rights to the adaptation, reflecting the growing trend of video game-based films.
The game follows two authors, Mio and Zoe, trapped in a simulation blending their sci-fi and fantasy worlds, requiring teamwork to escape.
Hazelight Studios' Josef Fares, who co-wrote the game, has expressed indifference toward film adaptations despite their rising popularity.
