Hazelight’s Next Game: Fares is Confident and Cocky
Hazelight Studios is teasing its next game, currently unnamed but cryptically referred to as “S*** ******N” by founder Josef Fares. A recent behind-the-scenes video offers a glimpse, showcasing Fares’ characteristic confidence.
A Cocky Confidence
Fares embraces the “cocky” label, believing his confidence is justified by the quality of the upcoming game. The video introduces the actors playing Mio and Zoe, characters inspired by Fares’ daughters, and features a humorous sound test – a “squelchy fart noise”.
The Big Reveal
The video culminates with Fares receiving a call from Geoff Keighley, confirming the game’s reveal at The Game Awards. Other anticipated titles at the show include Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country.
While Hazelight remains tight-lipped, reports suggest the game is titled Split Fiction and may launch as early as March. Fares’ tweet below shows his enthusiastic confidence in the project.
