Hazelight Studios and Electronic Arts releases ‘It Takes Two’ for PC and console

Hazelight Studios and Electronic Arts have released It Takes Twoa purely co-op experience that delivers a genre-bending platform adventure, on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Origin and Steam. The gameplay that seamlessly intertwines with the narrative It Takes Two puts players on a thrilling ride to enjoy either on the couch or online with a friend. Lauded by Game Informer as “a roaring success” and “one of the year’s best games,” It Takes Two brings players on a wild journey as Cody and May, a clashing couple who must learn to work together and overcome their differences to escape the fantastical world they’ve found themselves in.

“We’ve got a real game-changer here and the co-op genre is going to have no idea what hit them. There will be times the game will have you laughing, other times when it will pull at your heartstrings and even moments where your pulse is racing because the gameplay is just that frantic. It’s all there, and we can’t wait to hear what fans have to say about it,” said Hazelight Studios founder and game director Josef Fares.

“Hazelight goes beyond innovation and are true disruptors in their approach to game making, building experiences that bring players together in original ways. They are in every sense electronic artists and we are honoured to have supported them with their inspiring vision for It Takes Two, an action-adventure that intimately blends humour, heart and gameplay in a co-op experience like no other,” said Electronic Arts SVP 3rd Party Content & Development Steve Pointon. 

As players try to untangle the complicated web Cody and May are trapped in thanks to a magic spell that turns them into dolls, they’ll encounter ridiculous challenges around every corner. The unpredictable nature of each level will bring players through a uniquely metaphorical gameplay experience that tells a universal story of relationships, as Cody and May must work together to save their fractured marriage on the brink of divorce. Whether it’s vacuum cleaners on the loose, suave love gurus with lots of opinions or a night club in desperate need of a DJ, obstacles will pop up around every corner, making for some hilariously heartfelt moments.

It Takes Two offers players great value as it comes with a Friend’s Pass, where they can invite a friend to play with them for free. Players can also try out the entire first level of the game with the Friend’s Pass Free Trial, which can be downloaded separately from the main game. Then after the trial ends, only one player will need to purchase the full game to continue playing.

It Takes Two is available now for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Origin and Steam for $39.99. EA Play members can get It Takes Two for less with a 10 per cent discount on all digital purchases. EA Play Pro members get access to the full game on the launch day.
