Developer of It Takes Two will once again join forces with Electronic Arts and prepare a new project. Josef Fares, founder of Hazelight Studios, confirmed that he is working on another puzzle game and a completely new brand at the same time. He didn't reveal the title, but he left a certain clue: "S**** ******N" (and yes, fans already have their ideas for the full name of the game).

The partnership with EA was confirmed in a separate post by Hazelight on X. Notes attached to the documents related to the project indicate that it will be another co-op title (with a couch co-op mode), something about "Mio Zoe" (the main character(s)?), and a release date of "202?"

Undoubtedly, the more ambitious fans of It Takes Two are already working on deciphering the clues revealed by the developer. Everyone hopes that Hazelight Studios will not make us wait long for either the announcement or the premiere of the game. As players jokingly note, the game will definitely be released no later than 2029.

It's worth noting that It Takes Two sold 20 million copies on PC and consoles (via Hazelight Studios on X). Such a result would be impressive even for a AAA production, let alone a cooperative logic game.
