Quantum Break
Fix Time Before It Destroys Everything! When time breaks, catastrophe becomes your playground. As hero Jack Joyce, you'll fight your way through epic disasters that stutter back and forth in time. But surviving this unstable world--and halting the end of time itself--is only possible by mastering your new time powers.
What it feels like
Sustained pressure from time fractures, environmental hazards, and combat encounters. Secrets and unfolding revelations about the nature of the time fracture drive narrative intrigue. Sincere emotional beats and earnest stakes in the catastrophic scenario.
What it's about
A speculative future setting grounded in physics and scientific extrapolation of time manipulation. Movement through and alteration of time is central to both narrative and mechanics. Cascading time fractures create an increasingly oppressive and hostile world.
How it plays
Aiming and firing ranged weapons with tactical feedback is central to moment-to-moment combat. Time powers are core to both combat and traversal, allowing the player to freeze, rewind, and manipulate time. Slowing time is a signature tool for aiming and dodging within combat encounters.
How it looks and sounds
Third-person shooting and combat is the primary gameplay perspective throughout. Full voice acting throughout both gameplay and integrated live-action show segments. High-fidelity rendering aiming for cinematic realism paired with live-action show sequences.
How it's structured
Designed as a single-player experience with no multiplayer component. A bounded story arc with definite beginning, middle, and end delivered across acts. Content is structured as episodes interspersed with live-action TV show segments.
