'Quantum Break' Release Date Delayed, Microsoft Pushes Xbox One Exclusive Into 2016

Microsoft Pushes Xbox One Exclusive 'Quantum Break' Into 2016

2015 doesn't really need any games launching during it anyway, right?

Another title has joined the seemingly endless stream of delays, with Microsoft today announcing that Quantum Break has been pushed into 2016 as well. We've seen relatively little of the Xbox One exclusive from Remedy Entertainment and Microsoft Studios, and we'll have to wait longer to get our hands on the title.

Remedy are the developers behind title such as Max Payne and Alan Wake, and Quantum Break will bring a similar narrative-focused experience to Xbox One combined with "top-of-the-line live action elements". Microsoft is not worried about the delay, and made a point of noting that 2015 still has a strong lineup for Xbox:

"We've got the strongest games lineup in Xbox history right now, with 2015 blockbuster exclusives like Halo 5: Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Fable Legends, and Forza Motorsport 6, and more we'll announce in the coming months," said Shannon Loftis, Head of Publishing. "With so many games launching this year, moving Quantum Break to 2016 extends our incredible portfolio into next year with a monster new IP."

"We're really proud to be part of the incredible Xbox One lineup," said Sam Lake, Creative Director at Remedy. "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."

Four main titles for the year doesn't exactly require gamers to clear their schedule, but the lineup does remain solid enough in addition to any third party and multiplatform titles. Nintendo recently pushed the Wii U Legend of Zelda game out of 2015, which is probably the most disappointing blow to this year's schedule. What other casualties are still on the way?
