About Hazelight
Hazelight, founded by film director Josef Fares, emerged in late 2014 with the core team behind the award-winning game "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons." Known for innovation, Hazelight developed "A Way Out" from 2015 to 2018, marking the first-ever co-op-only third-person action-adventure. The studio has since grown in both team members and a steadfast passion for creating groundbreaking gaming experiences.
