First gameplay trailer: Co-op game combines sci-fi with fantasy
Split Fiction follows Mo and Zoe, two authors who suddenly become trapped in their own stories. To escape, they must hold onto their memories and work together. The twist? Each writer specializes in a different genre – Mo in sci-fi, Zoe in fantasy. As a result, players constantly shift between futuristic and magical worlds, creating a dynamic and ever-changing experience.
Designed for two players, Split Fiction blends action, puzzles and teamwork. In the sci-fi sections, players tackle gravity-based challenges, race through high-speed chases on futuristic bikes and face off against cyber ninjas and mechanical guards. The fantasy levels introduce magical transformations, allowing Mo and Zoe to shapeshift into different creatures to overcome obstacles. Success depends on strong cooperation.
First gameplay insights can be found in the new trailer, which was released on January 28:
