This information was announced on BlueSky, with the official account saying, “The love you all present for our recreation is overwhelming! 😍 Everybody right here at Hazelight are past completely satisfied – and we will’t cease having fun with your wonderful reactions! 🤩”
Notably that is a million copies offered, which suggests it is attainable that excess of which can be taking part in Split Fiction. Each copy of the sport comes with a Pal’s Move that lets a buddy play the complete recreation in co-op with the purchaser totally free. Whereas not everybody will make the most of that possibility (some will play native co-op, some might play with somebody who already owns the sport, and many others), that is nonetheless a complete lot of individuals taking part in Split Fiction.
This can be a enormous gross sales soar from Hazelight’s final recreation, It Takes Two, which did not attain the a million milestone till a month after launch. However that in and of itself was deemed a powerful milestone, with studio head Josef Fares saying on the time that it proved gamers need co-op video games.
We actually dug Split Fiction, calling it “a rollercoaster of continually refreshed gameplay concepts and kinds – and one which’s very exhausting to stroll away from” in our 9/10 assessment.
