At Hazelight we have our own motion capture studio and you better believe we used it A LOT when making It Takes Two!

As we showed here previously, the look of It Takes Two were darker and more sinister early in its development. What about Cody and May, you ask? They too were... something else. 😳
Here's a brief journey from the (slightly creepy) origins all the way to the top-notch final look

These action figures are insane! 🤯 The level of detail is so good and accurate that our own team at Hazelight had a hard time believing their eyes when they first saw them! 🤩
Pre-orders are open in North America and China. Once they start shipping at the end of this year they

Before we settled on the title It Takes Two, it had a codename during development - Project Nuts!
As you can see in these extremely early concept images the game was... quite darker than it turned out in the end. Actually, a certain part of that darker legacy stuck around until

A Way Out has now sold more than 9 million units! 💥
The development was a wild ride and the game was already a success back when it released. But even then, we never dared to dream of THIS many people playing our game! 😍
With that said, we will continue to look back at

We didn't have the budget to hire actors, so we ended up capturing every single motion in A Way Out ourselves (on whatever mocap system we could get our hands on)... and we had a lot of fun doing it! 🤩

Origin story time!
We’ve been asked many times where the name “Hazelight” comes from. What was the deeper meaning? What does it represent?
…we honestly have no idea. It just sounded cool. 😎

In November we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hazelight! 🥳
Damn it’s nostalgic looking back at Josef accepting a Bafta for Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons back in March 2014. 🥹
The crazy success of that game is why he founded Hazelight soon after!
Sure, we got new (real
