Recently, Hazelight Studios founder and CEO Josef Fares hosted a session answering journalists’ questions about his team’s next game, It Takes Two. In the conversation, the head said that in the upcoming project of his studio there will be no collectibles. According to him, people do not even go through the games to the end, so it makes no sense to motivate them to re-play in this way.

According to the GameRevolution portal, reporters asked Yousef Fares if users would feel the need to replay It Takes Two after the first time. In response, the manager stated: “We have to be very careful with this, because the problem with replay is the statistic that people don’t even finish games. Who is replaying the games? People don’t even finish them. We get this question all the time. And I don’t understand why. People do not go through the games in the second round “.

“Yes, you can replay It Takes Two, – continued Yusef Fares, – however, you will not find collectibles in It Takes Two. This is something we are very proud of. I know shiny knick-knacks should be directed [to different locations], but you can do it in other ways. “… In the last sentence, Youssef Fares was referring to mini-games with which Hazelight Studios intends to motivate users to explore their surroundings more thoroughly.

It Takes Two will be released on March 26, 2021 on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S. You can watch the first 22 minutes of the game in this material.
