<p>Two new faces will be joining Remedy Entertainment&#8217;s head-spinning action-game, <em>Quantum Break </em>– and they should be fairly familiar to fans of comics and fantasy. <em>Lord of the Rings</em> star Dominic Monaghan and Shawn Ashmore of <em>X-Men</em> and <em>The Following</em> fame will be playing two unknown parts for the game, but we can rest assured that their full likenesses will probably make it to the small-screen.</p>

<p>As it was revealed today on Twitter, Remedy showcased the actors in the midst of their work on the game, full mo-cap suits and all. Ashmore can be seen to the left and Monaghan can be seen to the right, both at Remedy studio in LA.</p>
<p>The news comes not long after the studio released <a href="https://bagogames.com/watch-16-minutes-dimension-bending-combat-quantum-break/">sixteen full minutes of demo footage</a> for their upcoming 2015 title. <em>Quantum Break</em> is slated for release in Q2 and promises cover-based, third-person shooter style action in tandem with a live-action TV series to be broadcast exclusively on Xbox Live.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re still told by Remedy after all these months that, &#8220;how you play the game impacts the show, and the show informs how you play the game.&#8221; Whether Ashmore and Monaghan play a part in both projects remains to be seen.</p>
