In April, Hazelight teased thatits next game could be announced later this year. In a post on its official X account, the studio noted that its 10th anniversary would be in November, and that while it will be looking back at its previous achievements in the near future, it will reveal “new (real good) stuff” later in the year.
Hazelight specialises in co-op adventures, with both its releases to date – It Takes Two and A Way Out – only playable in two-player co-op, with no single-player mode available.
Inan interview with VGCback in 2022, Hazelight founder Josef Fares discussed the studio’s next game.
“We’re making good progress, but there’s a lot more to do,” Fares told us at the time, saying it would be “a surprise in a good way” and adding: “It’s definitely going in the right direction. And it’ll be something really fucking cool.”
