Quantum Break slides into 2016

Quantum-Break-logo In news that will probably surprise no one at this point, the launch of the anticipated Remedy Entertainment-developed Quantum Break has officially been pushed into next year.

The Xbox One exclusive action-adventure title now has an official 2016 date, though neither Microsoft or the developer have a more specific launch window at this point. The reason for the delay is to “polish and fine tune” the experience.

Read on for the announcement.

Today, Microsoft Studios announced that the highly-anticipated action-adventure Quantum Break will launch in 2016.

?We?ve got the strongest games lineup in Xbox history right now, with 2015 blockbuster exclusives like Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, and Forza Motorsport 6, and more we?ll announce in the coming months,? said Shannon Loftis, Head of Publishing. ?With so many games launching this year, moving Quantum Break to 2016 extends our incredible portfolio into next year with a monster new IP.?

Quantum Break is created by Remedy Entertainment, the critically-acclaimed studio behind ?Max Payne? and ?Alan Wake.? Featuring Remedy’s highly acclaimed storytelling, Quantum Break fuses an intense action game with top-of-the-line live action elements into one revolutionary entertainment adventure.

?We?re really proud to be part of the incredible Xbox One line-up,? said Sam Lake, Creative Director at Remedy. ?We thank our fans for their patience, and want them to know that the team is taking advantage of this opportunity to polish and fine tune the game to create the kind of standout entertainment experience they?ve come to expect from us.?
