'Quantum Theory' (ALL) Demo Now On PSN, XBL Later

In Tecmo's third-person shooter players take on the role of the massive, gun-wielding warrior Syd and battle through intense action sequences in an unpredictable, shape-shifting battlefield. In addition to single player campaign, Quantum Theory also supports four modes of online multiplayer, complete with voice chat for real-time communication.

In Quantum Theory, players will experience Syd and Filena’s adventurous ascent through a treacherous tower in this dark fantasy, third-person/action shooter! Navigate through intense, shape-shifting battlefields, and perform powerful, two-character combo attacks with Filena in your quest to take down the “Living Tower.”
Many years have passed since the world war inflicted catastrophic damage on the human race, leaving only a few survivors. In their new community, life has been threatened by a black material called the Diablosis. The Diablosis infects everything it comes into contact with, tainting soldiers and the surrounding environment with its cancerous matter.

Surviving humans recruit a militia to conquer the Diablosis and set out to take down the evil, “Living Tower” that it is spewing forth from. Arriving at the scene is the stalwart warrior Syd, whose only intentions are to destroy the Tower. He meets the beautiful and mysterious Filena and they embark on their ultimate quest to take down the tower.

In the demo, players will control Syd, a hardened warrior with a focused vendetta, as he teams up with the mysterious Filena, an ally with a unique fighting style and technique. Players will be introduced to a variety of unique weapons and enemies as they begin their first strikes in the battle against the diablosis, a black material that infects anything it comes into contact with. As the diablosis taints and corrupts soldiers and even the very environment it touches, Syd and Filena will need to stay sharp to survive.

Xbox 360 users can expect the demo to hit Xbox LIVE later this month.

Key Features:

  • Shape-Shifting Battlefield: Navigate through a dark fantasy world where the intense battleground surprises you with new and challenging obstacles by changing its form in real-time. It’s up to players to use the constantly morphing environment to their advantage!
  • Lethal Partnership: Syd and Filena, an AI-controlled partner, perform actions as a pair in order to overcome hurdles. Strategically perform combos for a more powerful, fierce attack against colossal enemies.
  • Powerful Enemies: Enemies will employ similar team-based attacks used by players to outsmart, outgun and overpower anyone trying to destroy the tower.
  • Online Action: Continue the adventure with your friends in numerous online modes, including Team Battle and Battle Royal modes.
  • Distinctive Art Style: The mixture of organic and otherworldly technologies combine to form a surreal landscape filled with menacing architecture and locales.
  • Deadly Weaponry: Use Syd’s massive firearms to decimate enemies from afar, then move in close to use his powerful gauntlet. Filena obliterates her enemies using the legendary weapon “Lumiere” which transforms from sword form to an explosive long-range gun.
