Streamers Who Conquered Split Fiction’s Secret Challenge Get Exclusive Preview of Hazelight’s Upcoming Game

Here’s something pretty exciting: two talented Split Fiction streamers have recently conquered a super-secret, ultra-difficult challenge level within the game. Their reward? A clip from Hazelight’s Josef Fares himself, congratulating them and extending a unique invitation to get an early peek at the studio’s upcoming project. What’s more, he now wants to connect with these two champions after witnessing their incredible feat.

For those unfamiliar with this hidden challenge, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Aptly named “Laser Hell,” this level appears to be the ultimate test reserved for the most dedicated Split Fiction pros—mainly the streaming elite.

Unfortunately, if you had aspirations of gaming immortality, you’re out of luck. The honor has already been claimed by two Chinese streamers who go by “sharkOvO” and “E1uM4y.” It seems they’re the first in the world to conquer this beast, unlocking the special congratulatory video from Fares. This scene unfolds after a beautifully executed parkour session leads them to step on the mystery pressure pads in the final room.

A clip of their gameplay, shared on BiliBili, shows just how fitting the level’s name is, brimming with menacing security lasers reminiscent of blockbuster heist scenes. Success demands precision akin to an esports champion.

In the video message, a clapping Fares pops up, saying, “Wow, amazing,” with all the flair of a showman. “You must understand, even our team struggles with this. Completing it took a tremendous effort, and I’m telling you that what you’ve accomplished is simply outstanding.”

Fares adds with emphasis, “I’m not addressing the folks watching this on YouTube. If you come across this on YouTube, go try the game—it’s a real challenge. But for those who are in the game, seeing this video, I’m genuinely impressed. Here’s the deal: if you find me in person, somewhere, and you can prove you’ve completed this challenge, I promise you, the first to do so will get flown to Sweden where I’ll show you exclusive footage of our next game.” How cool is that?

In a follow-up tweet, Fares reaffirmed his commitment: “Congrats to ‘sharkOvO’ and ‘E1uM4y’ for conquering ‘Laser Hell’ in #splitfiction. VERY impressive! I’ll uphold my promise to fly you both to Sweden for an early look at our next project. Expect to hear from us soon!”

The big question now is what these two impressive gamers will get to see once in Sweden. Hazelight has been tight-lipped about future plans, especially since they released Split Fiction just under two weeks ago. Regardless, it’s always a pleasure to witness such exciting gamer-developer interactions.
