Introduction: Time is Power! In the aftermath of a split second of destruction that fractures time itself, two people find they have changed and gained extraordinary abilities. One of them travels through time and becomes hell-bent on controlling this power. The other uses these new abilities to attempt to defeat him – and fix time before it tears itself irreparably apart. Both face overwhelming odds and make dramatic choices that will determine the shape of the future. Quantum Break is a unique experience; one part hard-hitting video game, one part thrilling live action show, featuring a stellar cast, including Shawn Ashmore as the hero Jack Joyce, Aidan Gillen as his nemesis Paul Serene and Dominic Monaghan as Jack’s genius brother William. Quantum Break is full of the vivid storytelling, rich characters and dramatic twists Remedy Entertainment are renowned for. Your choices in-game will affect the outcome of this fast-paced fusion between game and show giving the player a completely unique entertainment experience. Time has been broken. A Fracture in time, created by a time travel experiment that has gone wrong, is advancing at an inexorable pace. As a result, time itself is now stuttering to a halt and then restarting, causing the world to turn into a frozen tableau. Most are unaware of the imminent disaster. Jack Joyce is not one of these people: changed by the same experiment, he can see the damage as the Fracture advances, time keeps slipping more and more out of joint, and as the world loses synchronization, destruction on a massive scale ensues. Jack is desperately trying to find a way to prevent the Fracture from reaching its conclusion – that final moment when the last grain of sand in the hourglass tumbles down, and time ends. But his best friend Paul Serene and the ruthless Monarch Solutions have their own plans, and Jack’s efforts don’t line up with them. They are willing to use whatever means necessary to stop him. Jack’s new abilities not only let him keep moving when time grinds into a halt, they also give him the power to manipulate time. Enabling him to move faster than the eye can see. To freeze an enemy between the ticks of a second. He can fight back. Using these powers, aided by the mysterious Beth Wilder and his genius brother William, Jack battles the high-tech Monarch troops, facing impossible odds even as time groans and stutters, forcing him to navigate scenes of incredible destruction that skip and rewind around him, half a step ahead of certain death. Failure means a world forever frozen in the last moment that ever existed – and that moment is close. |
