This game includes the "Quantum Break" TV series in the game. The actions of the characters in the series will be dependent on the player's action during the game.
First video game announced for the Xbox One console.
Originally, the game was planned to focus on multiple main characters with different time based powers. You can see hints of one of those cut characters in the game's announcement trailer. In the final game you mostly control Jack, but you will briefly play as Paul in certain scenes.
The game was developed at a time when Microsoft was heavily pushing Kinect support for the Xbox One, even when it wasn't needed. At one point, Remedy considered allowing a second player who could interact with the television episodes using the Kinect. By the time Quantum Break launched, Microsoft had given up on the Kinect and the final version of the game makes no use of the Kinect, even if the player has one.
