inXile Entertainment has finally pulled back the curtain on Clockwork Revolution with its first official gameplay trailer, shown during the Xbox Showcase. Set in the lavish, industrial steampunk city of Avalon, the game blends immersive first-person action with deep narrative choice and a time-twisting mechanic that sets it apart from anything else on the horizon.
The core of the gameplay centers on altering timelines. You don’t just influence the world—you literally go back and change it. Those changes ripple forward, reshaping environments, character fates, and the social order of Avalon itself. In a time where choice-based games often feel binary, Clockwork Revolution dares to dig deeper.
The trailer also gives us our first look at combat, dialogue, and exploration. There’s a weight to every action—whether you’re rewinding time mid-battle or uncovering conspiracies buried beneath the brass-and-gear façade of Avalon.
Clockwork Revolution is coming to Xbox Series X|S and PC. No release date yet, but one thing is certain: this is one revolution worth keeping your eye on.
