Update: Quantum Break includes all Alan Wake games and content for free through backward compatibility. The Quantum Break show isn’t included in the download or disc because it includes forty different variations. That’s too much to fit on Blu-ray. The title will require you to stream these episodes over the internet so a connection is required if you wish to watch the episodes instead of just playing the game.
Finally, Microsoft has now added Quantum Break for digital pre-order. Many people have already pre-ordered the physical copy but fans of digital games will be happy to know that they can now go to the Xbox Store on their computers and get the game ready for launch. You can also pre-order through your Xbox One console by searching the games section of its store. The game is set to release on April 5th, the game is getting ever closer, and I can’t wait to play it day one.
In the aftermath of a split second of destruction that fractures time itself, two people find they have changed and gained extraordinary abilities. One of them travels through time and becomes hell-bent on controlling this power. The other uses these new abilities to attempt to defeat him – and fix time before it tears itself irreparably apart. Both face overwhelming odds and make dramatic choices that will determine the shape of the future. Quantum Break is a unique experience; one part hard-hitting video game, one part thrilling live action show, featuring a stellar cast, including Shawn Ashmore as the hero Jack Joyce, Aidan Gillen as his nemesis Paul Serene and Dominic Monaghan as Jack’s genius brother William. Quantum Break is full of the vivid storytelling, rich characters and dramatic twists Remedy Entertainment are renowned for. Your choices in-game will affect the outcome of this fast-paced fusion between game and show giving the player a completely unique entertainment experience.
