2020 has been a trying time for many people around the world. Throughout the year, families and friends have looked for new and exciting ways to stay connected. This desire to stay connected led to the growth of Among Us and Tiktok while guaranteeing the success of Fall Guys. Although staying connected with friends and family is important, our home relationships are under a massive strain. For some, 2020 has created unknown tensions in relationships to be exposed; for others, it has brought loved ones closer. During The Game Awards, Hazelight announced It Takes Two coming to consoles and PC in March of 2021.
Hazelight is the developers behind A Way Out; they are a majority of the creative minds behind Brothers – A Tale of Two Sons. It Takes Two is a story about an estranged couple Cody and May. Cody and May are humans who have been turned into dolls. Throughout the game, the two will have to learn how to overcome their differences and work together as one to survive. It Takes Two will take players on a wild and extraordinary ride. The goal is to show that only one thing is for certain that we are better together.
Hazelight Expectations.
Josef Fares, Founder and Game Director at Hazelight Studios:
“At Hazelight, we’re always looking to push the boundaries of what’s expected in games, and It Takes Two is going to make your head spin! We’ve taken all our learnings from our previous games and kicked it up a notch, linking the narrative and gameplay mechanics for a genre-bending experience. Players will journey through crazy challenges in a fantastical world unlike anything they’ve ever seen. It’s going to be completely different from what people have come to expect from a co-op game!”
EA’s Position on It Takes Two
Steve Pointon, SVP 3rd Party Content & Development at Electronic Arts:
“We’re incredibly excited to be working with Hazelight for their second EA Originals release. Hazelight has a very unique method of storytelling that weaves gameplay and narrative together, leading to a deeply immersive and exciting experience. We can’t wait for everyone to experience first-hand the innovation, talent and craftsmanship that went into creating this game.”
Similar to A Way Out, It Takes Two will allow players to enjoy the game cooperatively. Players will be able to invite a friend to a co-op session for free. It Takes Two will be available on March 26, 2021, for PlayStation 4,
