Quantum Break Postponed For 2016

Microsoft already has "strongest games lineup in Xbox history."

Remedy Entertainment's upcoming time-bending Xbox One shooter Quantum Break has been delayed.

Microsoft head of publishing Shannon Loftis said in a statement that the company already has the "strongest games lineup in Xbox history" with games like Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, Forza Motorsport 6, and "more we'll announce in the coming months."

"With so many games launching this year, moving Quantum Break to 2016 extends our incredible portfolio into next year with a monster new IP," she said.

Remedy creative director Sam Lake also spoke on the delay saying that the extra development time will allow the studio to further polish the game.

"We thank our fans for their patience, and want them to know that the team is taking advantage of this opportunity to polish and fine tune the game to create the kind of standout entertainment experience they've come to expect from us," he said.
