Here’s an exciting bit of news from the gaming world! Two dedicated Split Fiction streamers have managed to conquer a secret, ultra-challenging level in the game. Their remarkable achievement has not only unlocked a congratulatory video message from Hazelight’s own Josef Fares, but it’s also earned them a special invitation—an exclusive sneak peek at the studio’s upcoming project. After witnessing their impressive feat, Fares announced that his team is actively reaching out to the streaming duo to make good on this offer.
For those unfamiliar with this secret level, it’s dubbed “Laser Hell,” and it’s as intimidating as it sounds. Only the most hardcore Split Fiction aficionados, particularly streamers, have ventured this far into the game’s treacherous depths.
You might be wondering how difficult it truly is. Well, a pair of Chinese streamers, known by their online handles, sharkOvO and E1uM4y, appear to be the first gamers globally to tackle this monstrous challenge successfully. Their perseverance paid off as they accessed a hidden video from Fares, which plays after skillfully navigating the intricate level and performing some timely pressure pad maneuvers.
In a video clip that’s circulating on platforms like BiliBili, you can see the level lives up to its terrifying reputation—filled with enough threatening lasers to rival any Hollywood heist plot. And as Fares appears on screen, applauding like an enthusiastic stage villain, he states, “Wow, amazing! Even our team struggles to get through this. Completing it is a truly extraordinary feat.”
Fares continues, emphasizing his awe by saying, “I’m not addressing those merely watching on YouTube. This is for the courageous few who achieved this in the game. If you can prove to me in person that you conquered this challenge, I promise to fly you to Sweden and give you the first look at what we’re working on next.” Now, that’s something to look forward to!
Following up on that promise, Fares tweeted, “Congrats to ‘sharkOvO’ and ‘E1uM4y’ for completing ‘Laser Hell’ in #splitfiction. It’s incredibly impressive! I’ll keep my word and invite you both to Sweden to get an early glimpse of our next game. We’ll be in touch!”
Although the details of their upcoming project remain under wraps, especially since Split Fiction was released less than two weeks ago, it’s hard not to be excited about opportunities like this in the gaming community.
