Microsoft has announced Remedy Entertainment’s action-game, Quantum Break, is being delayed and will now be expected to release in 2016.

Microsoft head of publishing Shannon Loftis reveals the reason for this shift is due to the company’s lineup of games releasing this holiday season. “We’ve got the strongest games lineup in Xbox history right now, with 2015 blockbuster exclusives like ‘Halo 5: Guardians,’ ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider,’ ‘Fable Legends,’ and ‘Forza Motorsport 6,’” she says in a statement sent to Shacknews.  “With so many games launching this year, moving ‘Quantum Break’ to 2016 extends our incredible portfolio into next year with a monster new IP.”

“The team is taking advantage of this opportunity to polish and fine tune the game to create the kind of standout entertainment experience they’ve come to expect from us,” Remedy creative director Sam Lake says.

With the return of so many well-known franchises on the Xbox One, moving the release of a new IP out of the way of massive games like Halo 5: Guardians and Rise of the Tomb Raider is a good idea. Considering the unique experience Remedy Entertainment expects to offer in Quantum Break, it’d be best if it would gain as much attention as possible, and the holiday 2015 season definitely isn’t the spot for it.
