It Takes Two

Hazelight Studios is currently fully focused on the imminently-releasing Split Fictionbut unsurprisingly, the developer’s acclaimed 2021 title, It Takes Twostill looms large in everyone’s memory. But is there a chance that we could ever see a direct follow-up to the co-op platformer? Hazelight is a team that prides itself on always chasing after new and inventive ideas, after all- but could a sequel to It Takes Two ever be on the cards?

Surprisingly enough, the answer isn’t an unequivocal no. Speaking in a recent interview with MinnMax, when asked about which of his games he would make a sequel to if he had to, Fares picked It Takes Two. As to whether that’s an actual possibility? At the very least, it doesn’t look like it’s an impossibility. 

“Who knows, man? You never know the future at Hazelight,” he said.

It Takes Two has sold over 20 million units worldwide since releasing in 2021, so it’s safe to assume that there’s a sizeable audience out there who’ll be happy to return for a sequel. Whether it actually happens is the big question, but the fact that Hazelight and Fares don’t seem instantly opposed to the idea is encouraging for those who do want an… um, It Takes Three?

In the meantime, Split Fiction releases for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on March 6.
