'Split Fiction' Director Claims Ubisoft Is "Struggling" and Proposes a Co-Op 'Splinter Cell' as a Lifeline

During a recent PlayStation State of Play, Hazelight’s new game Split Fiction was revealed. The studio behind hits like It Takes Two has always focused on co-op gameplay, and director Josef Fares had strong words for other companies, especially Ubisoft.

In an interview, Fares expressed disbelief at how many big studios are avoiding co-op in their games. Fares pointed out how many people love co-op games and mentioned Ubisoft specifically.

He challenged the company to bring back Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell series, suggesting a split-screen-only game. He argued that focusing on co-op could lead to big success for Ubisoft and would likely sell well.

Fares is no stranger to co-op. His past games, including Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, A Way Out, and It Takes Two, all focus on either split-screen or local co-op. He believes there’s a real demand for these experiences, something many fans miss from the past.

Mark is the kind of person who gets way too excited about new software updates and can’t resist taking apart gadgets—just to see if they can put them back together. With years of experience in tech journalism and a love for all things digital, Mark writes about the stories behind the screens, from game-changing innovations to the everyday tech that keeps life running smoothly. Outside of work, they’re the go-to “tech support” for friends and family, whether it’s fixing a printer that won’t cooperate or explaining why Grandma’s laptop keeps showing pop-ups. When Mark isn’t glued to their screen, they’re probably building their dream PC, rewatching sci-fi movies for the hundredth time, or testing a gadget that promises to “change everything.” Spoiler: they’ll let you know if it actually does.
