In an interview with Game Informer, Sam Lake from Remedy revealed where Quantum Break came from. Microsoft was looking for a new franchise and while Remedy could’ve modified Alan Wake to fit the build, they took another ambitious concept they had and turned it into Quantum Break. Quantum Break originally started off as a fictional show in Alan Wake and later became its own game. The concepts were basically the same.
What do you think of the interview? I loved it and it’s amazing when you get details about a game like this. Be sure to watch it.
