Josef Fares and his studio Hazelight have announced that a brand new IP is in the works, as well as revealing that co-op platformer It Takes Two has crossed another major sales milestone.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday, Hazelight announced that It Takes Two sales have reached the 20 million mark, which rather impressively means that the game has managed to shift another 10 million copies since February last year.

If you were one of the millions who bought It Takes Two and you enjoyed it, then you'll be pleased to know that Fares and his studio are currently working on a brand new IP, too.

How has It Takes Two achieved 20 million sales? Why, through "co-llab-o-ra-tion", of course.

Speaking on X earlier today, Fares said that he's "getting a lot of questions" about the new game on which he and Hazelight are currently working.

He goes on to say that it's a brand new IP, the title of which will be "S*** ******n", which admittedly doesn't tell us much. Finally, he says that he "can't wait to show it soon". Could a Game Awards reveal be on the cards?

All we know about the new IP is that censored title and the fact that it will be released sometime in the 2020s, which...well, it's a release window of sorts, eh?

As you can imagine, some people are already starting to have fun speculating what the full name of Fares and Hazelight's new IP might be. I would love to see one of these titles as the final name, but sadly, I think it's probably pretty unlikely.

Since we know Fares and Hazelight are working on a new IP, it seems we're not getting sequels to any of the studio's existing properties, so if you've been hoping for It Takes Three or Another Way Out, you're out of luck, sadly.

We'll bring you more on Hazelight's new IP as soon as we get it.
