What Split Fiction is

Split Fiction is an adventure game developed by Hazelight Studios and released in 2025. It was published by Electronic Arts. It is available on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 5.

The premise, in the publisher's words

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.
