8th December 2013 Agents of Storm Announced! Interview with Johannes Paloheimo and Oskari Häkkinen

Agents of Storm is a brand new mobile game currently being developed by the Digital team. The title was announced at this year's VGX show by Johannes Paloheimo (Head of Digital Partnerships at Remedy). You can check out the full interview below!

It's a tower defence game taking place in the sea. Like with Death Rally there's a story mode campaign which guides the player through a series of battles. Although the scale of the game is smaller than Quantum Break, it's still ambitious; Johannes describes that "for the medium, it's a big project", and so far it is looking gorgeous.

A final date hasn't been announced yet but it's due to be released early 2014. I will keep you updated.

21st November 2013 Possible Quantum Break Details at VGX

Microsoft recently teased in an interview with Polygon that fans could be hearing more details about Quantum Break in the next few weeks, and mentioned that VGX might be the perfect place to reveal them.

In the interview, Phil Spencer (Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Studios) stated:

"We did a pretty deep dive [on Quantum Break] last week while we were in Europe, and I'm feeling really good about the creative. It may be before the end of the year when we talk more about what the story and the gameplay is... We have a pretty good piece that I'm trying to coerce people into putting out before the end of the year ... showing the full Remedy vision, with Sam [Lake] giving a pretty good description of how the game works with some new gameplay footage.

"Maybe VGX would be a good place for that."
