New Co-Op Steam Game is Basically A Way Out Set in an Iconic Call of Duty Map
While Hazelight Studios started strong with Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, and reached critical acclaim and widespread appeal with It Takes Two and Split Fiction, A Way Out was an important middle child for the studio’s growth. The game established all the crucial elements that have gone on to define the developer, from co-op that demands communication to friend passes that require only one person to own the game. However, its tone was a lot more realistic and grounded than the colorful games Hazelight has recently made, focusing on two prisoners — one of which has a shocking secret. The upcoming Steam game Dual Fire Walled City seeks to replicate A Way Out’s vibe, and its setting should feel familiar to fans of a very different game.
