In an exciting development, Split Fiction, a highly anticipated title, will be among the first to launch on the new Nintendo Switch™ 2. The game, slated for release on June 5, 2025, promises to offer an epic blend of sci-fi and fantasy adventures featuring the characters Mio and Zoe. Ahead of its release, we’re unveiling more details about the exclusive features tailored to the Nintendo Switch 2 system.
Pre-order and Pricing Details
Fans of Split Fiction can secure their copy ahead of the official launch, with pre-orders set to open on April 24, 2025. The game will be available for $49.99 on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Hazelight and Nintendo Collaboration
In a recent interview, Nintendo engaged with Josef Fares, Founder of Hazelight Studio, and Oskar Wolontis, Hazelight’s Chief Operating Officer, to discuss their excitement about the new system. They also shared insights into their experience working on Split Fiction for the Nintendo Switch 2. The full interview is available in the “Creator’s Voice” video below, providing a closer look at their creative journey.
Enhanced Multiplayer with GameShare and GameChat
Split Fiction will leverage two standout features of the Nintendo Switch 2: GameShare and GameChat.
GameShare will allow players to share their single copy of the game with others through local wireless play. This feature ensures that both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 owners can enjoy multiplayer experiences together, even if only one player owns the game.
GameChat provides players with seamless communication while playing online, thanks to the Nintendo Switch 2’s built-in microphone. Additionally, players who connect the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera or a USB camera will be able to share live video, enhancing the interactive experience. The live video will be displayed on the player indicator UI within the game.
Friend’s Pass and Cross-Platform Play
Split Fiction will also feature the Friend’s Pass functionality, enabling two players to play together online with only one owning the game. This offers an excellent opportunity for friends to experience the game together without requiring both to purchase it.
Furthermore, Split Fiction supports cross-play, allowing players to connect online regardless of the platform they are using. This feature ensures that the game’s online community is as expansive and inclusive as possible.
