After building massive hype before release,Quantum Breaklaunched to mediocre reviews from both critics and gamers. While the game’s unique premise and visuals werehighly praised, its wonky gameplay mechanics system left a lot to be desired. The end result was a disappointing experience for Xbox One and PC gamers who played the title.
Developer Remedy Entertainment seems to be acutely aware ofQuantum Break’s shortcomings, and will be looking to make improvements to the gameplay mechanics ofupcoming projects. The developer’s Head of Communications, Thomas Puha, recently took toTwitterto share the team’s focus, and to let gamers know the developer will provide a much better experience for gamers next time around.

Remedy Entertainmentis currently working on at least two games, one of which is simply codenamed “P7”, since it’s the seventh project the team has developed. No word yet on what the other game is in development. If the company is working on a sequel toQuantum Break, gamers will be very interested to see what changes the developer makes to the gameplay mechanics forQuantum Break 2.
Many gamers are hoping the developer is hard at work on a newAlan Waketitle. A few years ago, focus shifted for Remedy from a trueAlan Wakesequel toQuantum Breakthanks to discussions between Remedy and Microsoft. Now thatQuantum Breakhas released, hopefully Remedy is back to working on a newAlan Wakegame.
The idea of Remedy creating a sequel to eitherQuantum Break,Alan Wake, or both, seems to fit with Puha’s comments about the team’s capabilities. As Puha shared today on Twitter, with only 140 people on the team, and two games in development, there’s not a lot of opportunity for the developer to create open world games for players. However, it seems theteam is wanting to put more emphasis on multiplayerthan it has in the past.
Additionally, it sounds like the crew at Remedy doesn’t want to make gamers wait another five years for its next title. When responding to a fan, Puha revealed the next game won’t take that long to see the light of day, which hopefully means one or both titles currently in development are coming along well and may even be revealed sometime this next year.
What do you think about Puha’s comments about improving the gameplay mechanics of its upcoming titles? What games are you hoping to see from Remedy Entertainment?
