Quantum Break Videos Explore Time Travel
Xbox and Remedy Entertainment revealed some new videos this week for the upcoming long awaited release of Quantum Break. After many years, the game’s release is finally happening next week. The new videos feature all live-action footage, showcasing the characters of the world of Quantum Break. It will be interesting to see how Remedy’s experiment with the show as it experiments with both a very theatrical-style game along with a live-action TV series that’s built into the events of the game.
The first video features actor Dominic Monaghan as Dr. William Joyce in a found footage style video. In the video, Joyce is testing a prototype time machine. Obviously, things do not go well. He seems to share a name with the hero of the game, Jack Joyce (Shawn Ashmore). This could likely mean that William Joyce is either Jack Joyce’s father or brother.
Quantum Break arrives on April 5. The game will be available exclusively for the Xbox One and Windows 10. The game will include a live-action digital series that focuses on the villains of the game, including the nefarious head of Monarch Paul Serene (Aidan Gillen). How gamers play Quantum Break will affect what happens in the TV episodes. The show consists of four episodes of about 22 minutes in length
