After stumbling across an incredible invention that allows you to travel into the past, you discover the city you call home—the vibrant steam-powered metropolis of Avalon—has been carefully crafted through the alteration of historical events.

About Clockwork Revolution

Clockwork Revolution is inXile Entertainment's first large production since Microsoft acquired the studio, a first-person role-playing game set in Avalon, a steam-powered city whose present has been quietly engineered by somebody editing its past. You come into possession of a device that sends you back to decisive moments, and what you do there ripples forward into the version of Avalon you return to, changing people and situations in ways the game tracks. inXile is the studio Brian Fargo built around Wasteland, and Xbox Game Studios is publishing.

The game has no confirmed release date. Its most recent trailer closed on a 2027 card, replacing the in due time joke inXile had used in earlier showings, and that card is the only date signal there is; Microsoft has not announced a window formally. It is an Xbox console exclusive, coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC, and it will be on Game Pass from day one. inXile has now shown real gameplay, which suggests the project is further along than its date silence implies.
