Watch Split Fiction's action-packed reveal trailer! Get ready to master a variety of abilities, and overcome diverse challenges while jumping between sci-fi and fantasy worlds in this unexpected story of friendship.
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.
Split Fiction is a unique action-adventure experience that keeps you on the edge of your couch with unexpected moments. One minute you’re taming adorable dragons and the next you’re fighting as cyber ninjas, escaping terrifying trolls, or dodging hover cars thrown by a robotic parking attendant. It’s weird, it’s wild, and it’s designed to be shared.
Grab a friend and get ready to overcome any obstacle thrown your way.
You can play couch co-op, or invite a friend to play online for free using Friend's Pass*. As long as one of you owns the game you can both play!
