“Quantum Break,” another anticipated video game exclusive to the Xbox One will no longer be released in 2015 as originally scheduled. The game’s developers, Remedy Entertainment made the announcement Thursday last week.
According a Tech Times report, no reason was given for the delay. Remedy’s creative director Sam Lake addressed fans:
“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.”
The report also cited that delays seemed to be common for next generation consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This was not the first delay announced this year – “Uncharted 4” of Sony and “Zelda” of Nintendo are included in the delay list, and so were “Batman: Arkham Knight” and “Halo 5.” This seems to be the norm for games such as these, according to the report.
“Quantum Break” is a third-person shooter action game that will be published by Microsoft and developed by Remedy Entertainment. Some reports describe it as a “risky title” and like most of the other games made for next generation consoles, are ambitious because they are supposed to be “designed to take full advantages” of the system.
“Quantum Break” employs a different type of gameplay. In the game, players have the ability to manipulate time and the game will be played in segments. What will happen in the next segment is determined by the choices that the player makes. Once a segment is finished, players need to watch an episode of a TV series that is being developed in conjunction with the game, which is supposed to help them make their choices in the game. There is no word yet on where and how the live-action series will be broadcast.
