Games Thirst – Amazing Life
Quantum Break, Remedy Entertainment’s next big thing will come exclusively to Xbox One, but why? Well according to CEO Matias Myllyrinne, speaking in an interview with GI.biz, “There’s no way on God’s green Earth that we would take on a venture like this on our own. We might have the appetite but there’s no way we could.”
And I completely understand. The game is very ambitious in that it attempts to seamlessly tie a TV series with a videogame, with episodic chapters going back and forth between TV and game on Xbox One. It also ties in with Microsoft’s desire to push TV this generation, and Remedy obviously, as stated above by its own studio boss, couldn’t take on such a venture without the backing of Microsoft.
“This is clearly a strategic move for them as well as us. This is something – we have crazy ideas – but we need to fall back and let the full force of a company like Microsoft see it through.
For us, our interests are nicely aligned. We serve a strategic purpose for them in delivering unique content for their platform with a unique twist. And for us that allows us [to] follow the creative passion that the team needs to fulfill through a project like this.”
No release date has been given to the game, but it’ll hopefully be released sometime next year.
