It’s taken a while for the studio to get to the point of developing an exclusive as part of Xbox Game Studios, but this internal-view RPG is going to be one.

Here’s the game’s official description: “Clockwork Revolution is a time-bending steampunk first-person RPG. 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. By traveling back to key moments, your interactions and choices will have a butterfly effect on the deep, narrative-driven world and characters of Avalon, causing them to change and react in unprecedented ways.”

InXile even went on to say more on Microsoft’s website: “It is a fantastical, first-person action RPG, with dynamic time-bending combat, deep interconnected roleplaying systems, and the ability to create your unique character from the ground up. The project is led by Game Director Chad Moore and Principal Designer Jason Anderson, who just happen to have created one of the greatest steampunk RPGs of all time—Arcanum. Clockwork Revolution occurs in the vibrant Victorian-era metropolis of Avalon, where steam trains fly overhead, wealthy industrialists replace their limbs with ornate clockwork prosthetics, and mechanical servants fulfill their masters’ every whim. But this new age of wonders holds a dark secret—carefully constructed by the ruthless Lady Ironwood. Using a time travel device, she’s changed key moments in Avalon’s history, keeping the working class struggling in the slums and factories while bringing herself immense wealth and power. That’s where you come in…

Discovering Ironwood’s scheme, you’ll use a wondrous device known as the Chronometer to travel back in time, choose how to influence the past, and then return to the present to experience the effects of your decisions. Through unprecedented and complex visual and narrative depth, the choices you make on your trips into the past will change the people, the stories, and the city of Avalon itself in extraordinary and (very often) unexpected ways. In Clockwork Revolution, we’re pushing roleplaying reactivity to new heights, infused with the unique texture and personality you expect from our games. Not only is Clockwork Revolution our first fully-fledged Xbox Game Studios release, but from start to finish, we’re utilizing the resources and support of Microsoft and Xbox to create our studio’s first AAA first-person action RPG. We’re still early in development.”

Clockwork Revolution is coming to Xbox Series and PC (Steam, Microsoft Store).
