It Takes Two is Hazelight's next game.

Hazelight’s Josef Fares reveals It Takes Two co-op game

Josef Fares, the founder of indie game studio Hazelight, revealed the story and gameplay of It Takes Two, the next game coming from a man who loves to tell stories — and curse during game presentations. EA made the announcement at its EA Play 2020 event today.

Fares never misses a chance to drop an F-bomb, and so I fully expected his colorful language as he revealed the company’s new game. And today, he said his new game is going to “blow your f***ing mind.” The new adventure game comes out in 2021.
