Clockwork Revolution, a first-person steampunk RPG by inXile Entertainment, will release in 2027 as an Xbox console exclusive [1, 2, 3]. The game features time manipulation powers and is set in the industrial city of Avalon, where players control Morgan Vanette, a customizable protagonist, alongside a robotic companion named Prentice [2, 3].
Players use the Chronometer, a device that lets them manipulate time to alter environments, unlock hidden paths, and change narrative outcomes and character relationships [1, 3]. The gameplay blends shooter mechanics and immersive sim elements with abilities like "Displace," which moves objects and environments through time [1, 3].
Avalon is portrayed as a city with a dark underbelly governed by crime bosses, including antagonist Lady Ironwood. Xbox Wire described Avalon as "beautiful, but it isn’t a utopia," characterized by industrial ambition and a stark divide between its polished surface and harsh realities below, where "the folks at the bottom usually pay for it" [2].
Morgan’s allies include a gang called the Rotten Row Hooligans [1, 3]. The game’s tagline reads: "CHANGE THE PAST. CONTROL THE FUTURE. Alter the course of history and rewrite the future in this steampunk first-person RPG" [1].
Clockwork Revolution was first announced in 2023 as a new IP from inXile Entertainment, known for titles like Wasteland 3 [2, 3]. On June 7, 2026, at the Xbox Games Showcase, a lengthy gameplay trailer premiered, confirming the 2027 release date and Xbox exclusivity, with no plans for a PlayStation 5 version [1, 2, 3].
The game will debut on Xbox consoles and will also be available via PC and cloud streaming platforms [2].
