April 5 is almost upon us, and once it arrives, the highly anticipated "Quantum Break" will finally roll out on the Xbox One and Windows 10. Six days doesn't seem like much, but the week before a major release is excrutiatingly long for fans, so to keep them busy, Microsoft has released a live action trailer for the time-bending game that sheds some light on the story's villains.

The trailer is quite spolier heavy, highlighting a few of the narrative arch's elements, so you might want to play the game without viewing the trailer linked at the end of the article.

The video focuses on two of the game's main antagonists: Paul Serene, played by Aidan Gillen, who also starred in "Game of Thrones," and Hatch who is portrayed by Lance Reddick, who you might recognize from "Fringe," both of which work for the evil Monarch Solutions. This isn't the first time that Gillen and Reddick have met on set, as they both appeared in HBO's "The Wire."

Getting into the actual content of the trailer, we can see the main protagonist, Jack Joyce, played by Shawn Ashmore, who also appeared in the "X-Men" movies, talking to Serene, as the latter comments that "time is just one closed loop."

As you may remember, Remedy's "Quantum Break" will be accompanied by a four-part TV show component that tells the story of the villains, whereas the game itself tells the story of the game's protagonists. There was clearly a lot of effort placed into this component, as not only will each part be about 22 minutes in length, making them about the length of a Disney movie in total, but the actors who portray the game's characters are quite high-profile. For example, aside from Gillen, Reddick and Ashmore, Dominic Monaghan will also make an appearance in the segments. He played Meriadoc Brandybuck in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, as well as former rock-star Charlie Pace in "Lost."

Of course, gamers do have the option of skipping over all of these segments and diving right back into the action and not miss out on any story elements, but Remedy would prefer that you don't.

In related news, Remedy has remedied a situation that led to a noticeable lack of gameplay videos despite the title coming out next week. Originally, gameplay videos were being deleted left and right due to copyright infringement. Now, players can go to the "Audio" section in the Settings Menu and locate the toggle that allows copyrighted music to be turned on or off during sequences where they're present. The fix means little to those who play the game normally, but those who live-stream or post videos online can maintain the atmosphere of the game without worrying about whether their content will be removed from platforms like Twitch or YouTube due to copyright infringement.

"Quantum Break" will arrive in stores on April 5 for the PC and Xbox One.
