Split Fiction Redefines Co-Op: Hazelight’s Dual-Reality Engine Unlieves Parallel Universe Puzzles

Hazelight Studios revolutionizes cooperative play with Split Fiction‘s groundbreaking “Dual-Reality Engine.” Players inhabit parallel dimensions on the same screen – one in a cyberpunk metropolis, the other in a feudal fantasy realm – rendered simultaneously via dynamic resolution partitioning. PS5/XSX achieve native 4K/60fps with ray-traced reflections bouncing between worlds; a hacker’s neon alley projects onto a knight’s castle shield. “The engine streams two distinct physics systems,” reveals Technical Director Anders Olsson. “Break a pipe in World A? Steam becomes World B’s weather system.” DualSense and Xbox haptics provide dimension-specific feedback: magic spells vibrate ethereally, while tech gadgets deliver sharp triggers.
