'Split Fiction' Comes To Nintendo Switch 2 As Launch Title - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on April 2, 2025 @ 8:16 p.m. PDT

Split Fiction is an action-packed co-op adventure that jumps between sci-fi and fantasy worlds to tell a captivating story of friendship and collaboration.

Split Fiction is an action-adventure game that pushes the boundaries of the co-op genre further than ever, a unique co-op action-adventure split screen game where players will jump between sci-fi and fantasy worlds.

With a wide range of ever-changing abilities, players will take on the roles of Mio and Zoe as they work together to take back their creative legacies and discover the power of an unexpected friendship

In Split Fiction, players will discover a variety of sci-fi and fantasy mechanics and abilities. Escape a sun that’s going supernova, challenge a monkey to a dance battle, try out some cool hoverboard tricks, fight an evil kitty and ride everything from gravity bikes to a sandshark. With worlds that are entirely different from each other, surprising challenges await players at every turn.

Mio and Zoe are contrasting writers, one of sci-fi and the other of fantasy, who become trapped in their own stories after being hooked up to a machine designed to steal their creative ideas. Jumping back and forth between worlds, they’ll have to work together and master a variety of abilities in order to break free with their memories intact.


Grab your co-op partner and get ready to dive into Zoe and Mio’s genre-jumping adventure on a brand new Nintendo system! The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game will offer players the same dynamic storytelling and ever-changing gameplay, and take advantage of the system's unique features: GameShare and GameChat!

GameShare will allow players to play locally with just one copy of the game with another player on their Nintendo Switch 2, even if they don’t own the game. GameChat on Nintendo Switch 2 will enable players to share live video and voice chat from their console system while playing Split Fiction together.

Players can also invite a friend to play with them for free on any platform (Crossplay on Nintendo Switch 2, PS, Xbox & PC) with the Friend’s Pass. 

In addition to all of the incredible sci-fi and fantasy variety featured in the Split Fiction main story, you will encounter mysterious, out of place portals that you can enter to explore all new and vastly different worlds and locations that are completely optional.

These are Side Stories! Side Stories are anomalies that occur as a consequence of Mio and Zoe being stuck in the same simulation. These portals are attempts by the simulation to steal unfinished stories and ideas that Mio and Zoe wrote when they were younger, leading to some truly weird, wonderful, and chaotic situations.

You can look forward to experiencing Side Stories featuring a daring mountain climb filled with Giants, riding Sandfish across a desert and snowboarding while performing killer tricks down a mountain - under heavy fire. Other Side Stories will have you become pigs and finding out exactly how sausages are made, chasing enemies while water-skiing and exploring the depths of space on a spacewalk gone wrong – these are just a few examples of Mio and Zoe’s imagined Side Story scenarios, which they now have to live out (and escape from) all the while adding even more crazy and chaotic gameplay variety on your adventure through Split Fiction.

As these stories have been deeply influenced by our authors' pasts, they will experience long since forgotten ideas and secrets about themselves. Once a Side Story has been completed, our characters return back through the portal to the main level where they first entered the encounter, filled with even greater determination to escape from Rader’s machine with their memories and stories intact… so, going back to our original question, are you up to the challenge?

Currently available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store / EA app), Split Fiction is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025.
