“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!” said Josef Fares, Founder and Game Director at
Hazelight Studios. “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!”
“We’re incredibly excited to be working with Hazelight for their
second EA Originals release,” said Steve Pointon, SVP 3rd Party
Content & Development at Electronic Arts. “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.”
Embark on an all-new, crazy journey in It Takes Two, a thrilling
platform adventure game built strictly for co-op. Step into the
shoes of Cody and May, two humans turned into dolls by a magic
spell, who, trapped in a fantastical world where unpredictability
hides around every corner, are reluctantly challenged with saving
their fractured relationship. In It Takes Two, players work
together across a huge variety of gleefully disruptive gameplay
challenges such as piloting a pair of underpants or DJing a buzzing
night club. With connected character abilities in every new level,
an abundance of unexpected obstacles and hilariously heartfelt
moments, players will work their way through a uniquely
metaphorical gameplay experience.
To enjoy playing the game in co-op, invite a friend to join for
free with Friend’s Pass*, tackling ever-changing challenges that
can only be solved together. There’s a new ridiculous challenge to
overcome around every corner, from rampaging vacuum cleaners to
suave love gurus, gangster squirrels to magical snow globes --
there’s never a dull moment. Whether it’s in local or online
co-op**, there’s an abundance of opportunities to team up and
become an unstoppable duo.
It Takes Two is available now for pre-order and launches in
retail and digital storefronts on March 26, 2021 for PlayStation®4,
Xbox One and PC via Origin™ and Steam for $39.99. All players who
purchase It Takes Two on either PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be
able to upgrade to its next-gen counterpart for free*** on the same
date.
