New Quantum Break Material Won't Be at E3, Dev Suggests

Quantum Break, the Xbox One exclusive from Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment, will not be at E3, a senior exec at the studio has confirmed.

Speaking in a YouTube video, Sam Lake, the studio's chief creative officer--and the face of Max Payne--discussed Remedy's upcoming 20th anniversary.

Lake went on to say Gamescom would be the next time we see new Quantum Break material.

"We were at Gamescom last year with Quantum Break and had great fun. We'll be there again this year ... releasing new material," he said. "We have a theatre where every one of you is welcome to check us out and see the new explosive Quantum Break demo."

Although Lake provided a strong indication that nothing new from the game would be shown at E3, it may be that the game will still show up in some capacity. GameSpot has contacted Microsoft for clarification.

Microsoft previously said it will have a major presence at Gamescom in Germany this August, and promised a breadth of content as significant as what we'll see at E3.

"We should have as much new content at Gamescom as we will at E3," Xbox boss Phil Spencer said at the time, suggesting Quantum Break is one of the games that will be more prominently featured at Gamescom.

Quantum Break is a third-person shooter in which an experiment has caused time to start collapsing. The game's protagonists are given the ability to manipulate time, which they must do to escape a corporation hunting them.

Quantum Break was announced as a trans-media experience. Along with the video game, Remedy and Microsoft are also going to be releasing a live-action show. The game tells the story of the heroes while the show clues us in on the villains.

Quantum Break was previously set to launch in 2015 but, following a delay, is now slated to arrive next year.

The Quantum Break show was unaffected by Xbox Entertainment Studios' recent closure.

E3 2015 will take place June 16-18. For more on the show and GameSpot's coverage plans for it, check out the video below.
