If there’s one story you’ve never had the opportunity to experience in gaming, it’s that of the interstellar firefighter going head-to-head against powerful, cosmic entities. In a matter of days, that’s the tale that you could be living out – provided you have a PlayStation 5 console, that is.
From TeamKill Media comes Quantum Error, an ambitious first-/third-person shooter that attempts to innovate and make use of all the technical advantages of the PlayStation 5. From full haptic feedback that allows you to feel the intensity of a ‘backdraft door’ to using the controller’s microphone to save lives, Quantum Error promises to be a unique game — and it’s kicking off a trilogy, apparently.
What is Quantum Error?
Quantum Error is only the second game ever released by TeamKill Media, which already has a further three projects in development, as well as a planned follow-up (and a follow-up for the follow-up) for Quantum Error itself.
There’s a complex story at play that’s better outlined on the game’s website, but ultimately, Quantum Error will see the protagonist – Capt. Jacob Thomas – go from being a top-tier firefighter in San Francisco to transcending our imperfect world by way of interstellar travel, uncovering mysterious enemies from the cosmic abyss he finds himself a part of.
Here’s the launch trailer:
Quantum Error was built in Unreal Engine 5 and takes full advantage of the marvels that the technology offers. It has been in development for at least three years, and as a horror-based, sci-fi-themed title, it promises to do well in the space, even if it’s likely not a contender against something like Dead Space or Alan Wake 2.
Quantum Error will be released on October 31st for pre-order customers and then digitally on November 3rd. If you’d rather wait for a physical copy, they’re arriving in stores worldwide on November 17th.
