Clockwork Revolution: Diving Deeper Into inXile’s Time-Bending Reveal Trailer 

On behalf of everyone at inXile entertainment, we’re thrilled to share an early glimpse of the incredible steampunk world of Clockwork Revolution.  We’d like to share a bit more about what you saw in the trailer, as well as tease some aspects you may not have noticed. 

The game is an action-packed first-person RPG with incredible time-bending battles, interconnected roleplaying, and the option to build your own character. 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. 

Set and Story 

Clockwork Revolution takes place 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—it’s been carefully constructed by the ruthless Lady Ironwood. Through use of 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… 

Time Travel with The Chronometer 

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. Your choices will have a profound impact on the characters, stories and city of Avalon through a complex and unprecedented visual narrative. It’s a good idea to keep this in mind. Clockwork Revolution we’re pushing roleplaying reactivity to new heights, infused with the unique texture and personality that you’ve come to expect from our games. 

InXile is excited about this new project. This is not only exciting for us at inXile. 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, but hope you enjoyed this pre-alpha sneak peek, and we look forward to sharing more… in due time.
