We're edging ever closer to the release of Quantum Break, but one key milestone the team celebrated recently was the completion of their in-studio press day. Last month, approximately forty journalists representing a variety of international publications travelled to Espoo in Finland to attend a special Quantum Break press event held at the Remedy offices. While there were photos posted throughout the week, the information disclosed during the showcase was embargoed... until today.
Today, we have a lot to nerd over with the reveal of bundles, backwards compatibility for past Remedy titles, and a brand-new trailer...
Alan Wake Backwards Compatibility Announced
Up first is a look back at one of Remedy's previous titles! Today we saw official confirmation that Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare will be coming to Xbox One, via backwards compatibility. The feature was announced at last year's E3 and, if you were on the lookout, the Alan Wake box art was featured as one of the games coming to the program. If you have the titles already, you should get the option to redownload it for the Xbox One. You can also get a free copy of the Alan Wake by pre-ordering Quantum Break. Alan Wake's American Nightmare will also be available with copies of Quantum Break, but only at select retailers. More information to come about that later!
Quantum Break Xbox One Bundle
Microsoft have announced that they're making a special Xbox One 500GB bundle for the release of Quantum Break. According to Game Informer (archived), the bundle is available both in white and black. It will come with a digital copy of Quantum Break and Alan Wake (along with The Signal and The Writer DLC packs). Pre-orders for the bundle begins March 29th 2016.
Quantum Break coming to Windows 10
PC Gamers, we have some short but sweet news for you. If you've been hoping to play the game on your PC, the studios have confirmed that Quantum Break will be coming to Windows 10. In a recent post published on social media, Remedy teased that “The Windows 10 version of @QuantumBreak is being developed by Remedy and Microsoft. A lot of effort is going into it. Stay tuned for more.”
Quantum Break Steel Book
You may have already seen mentions of a Quantum Break steel book version online; until this point it had always been blurry whether it was a pre-order teaser or a community-created mock-up. Today, it was announced that there will be a steel book cover if you pre-order the game from participating retailers. At present, a full list of stores and their promotions hasn't been made available, but we'll do our best to keep you in the loop in case they are released at a later date.
Brand New Trailer, Quantum Break TV Spot
We're down to the final reveal of the day, but we've kept the best til last! Today, Remedy and Microsoft have published their latest Quantum Break TV Spot trailer. In the clip, Jack Joyce visits his parents' graves, placing down a photograph, as Monarch soldiers rush out of nearby vehicles and swarm him. As he turns around, time begins to stutter, allowing him to manoeuvre around and arm himself before time resumes.
