The Easter eggs of Remedy’s Quantum Break

Remedy Entertainment’s Quantum Break video game for the PC and Xbox debuts next week, and we’ve already played it all the way through. You can find a lot of Remedy lore sprinkled as Easter eggs throughout the game. (See our full review here, and tips here).

You’ll find a bizarre Remedy video in the very first scene, inside the tent. You’ll see a TV there. On the television, an Alan Wake style, X-Files style video plays. This has nothing to do with the story, and I haven’t quite figured out what story it is alluding to. But the face in the scene is Alan Wake’s. His voice communicates, “Dark matter and dark energy constitute over 95 percent of our universe.” And the male detective in the scene is played by Remedy creative director and writer Sam Lake. Some have speculated about whether this means Wake plays a role in Quantum Break itself, but I didn’t notice. So perhaps it’s related to DLC or something coming in the future, dubbed Alan Wake’s Return.
