It Takes Two developer Hazelight teases announcement for later this year

Hazelight Studios, the developer of co-op hit It Takes Two, has confirmed that it will make a major announcement later this year, implying that a new game is on the way.

The details:

• In a post on X, the studio announced that its tenth anniversary would be in November and reflected on how it was founded following the success of Josef Fares' Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. The company also stated in the post that it has "new (real good) stuff" to discuss later in 2024, implying that a new project may be revealed soon.

• Nothing about Hazelight's next project has been revealed yet, but it's expected to be another co-op game, as both It Takes Two and A Way Out are multiplayer-only. Speaking with VGC in 2022, Fares discussed the studio's next game, stating that it was "making good progress, but there's a lot more to do," and that it was "going in the right direction."

• Last month, Hazelight announced that It Takes Two had sold over 16 million units since its release in 2021, with over 30 million people having played the co-op title. The game became a huge success as it required two players to play online or in split screen co-op, where players had to work together to solve puzzles.
