COLOGNE, Germany—Microsoft's Tuesday keynote presentation at the Gamescom video game conference was all about its Xbox brand, and unlike the company's E3 presence earlier this summer, this event saw the company focusing on games coming in 2016.
The biggest reveal was Quantum Break, the Remedy-produced game that has been teased for over two years. The new full-gameplay footage, however brief, included the signature bullet-time action that Remedy made famous with its Max Payne games, only this time with a serious infusion of future-science weaponry and zoomed-in, detailed faces during dialogue. Best of all, Microsoft attached a release date to this long-awaited title: April 5, 2016, across the world on Xbox One. As a bonus on that date, a live-action TV series will launch alongside to air exclusively on Xbox consoles.
Platinum Games was on hand to introduce gameplay for Scalebound, a third-person slasher that sees Bayonetta-style, higher-speed combat enter a more Monster Hunter-like fantasy landscape. Ever wanted to don super-hip headphones and tear dragons apart with bows, arrows, swords, and magic? Platinum will make that happen for gamers worldwide exclusively on Xbox One by "fall 2016."
