Watch Quantum Break's live-action/gameplay hybrid trailer

Remedy games are at their best when they're scathingly self-aware, and the latest trailer for Quantum Break has me hopeful that it will continue that grand tradition. The video starts off with scenes from the game's live-action component, steadily transitioning to footage of the game's shooting and time powers in action. No Nirvana this time, though.

It's a little more subtle than Max Payne's "I was in a computer game" moment, or even Alan Wake's literary revelations, but I'm hoping Remedy has some more perspective-twisting surprises in store for Quantum Break. We'll find out when the game is released on Xbox One and PC on April 5.

Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
