“Quantum Break” will be released exclusively on the Xbox One April 5, 2016. Here’s a look at what we know so far. Despite delays and intriguing but crytpic discussion of its video game and TV show hybrid nature, Quantum Break finally has a release date, and a talented cast of familiar faces to go along with it.

Each episode will be affected by player’s choices in the actual game, making it a title that revolutionizes the gaming experience and toying with the line between gaming and TV. The Microsoft conference earlier this week showcased some new Quantum Break action.
Knowing Remedy, it’ll have both fantastic gameplay (which from what we’ve all seen, looks to be that way), and definitely a strong narrative component.
Dualshockers got a behind closed doors presentation with the game’s Creative Director Sam Lake and he laid out just how the time powers are set to work in Quantum Break. Time is stuttering and freezes everyone except Jack. Unfortunately, so does Paul Serene, a villain who orchestrates an endless supply of armed enemies through a corporation called Monarch Solutions. Soon, he comes across soldiers, some of which too are capable of navigating the stutter, but only thanks to the experimental time technology they have at their finger tips.

A game without challenge is no fun, so it isn’t long before the super soldiers arrive. Aidan Gillen – aka Littlefinger from Game of Thrones – plays the antagonist, and Dominic Monaghan – the hobbit that was in Lost – plays Joyce’s brother. Each has its own resource bar, these resource bars will get depleted as players use them and will eventually refill over time.
