Clockwork Revolution Announced at Xbox Games Showcase​

Today we announced Clockwork Revolution at the Xbox Games Showcase, a fantastical, first-person action RPG, with dynamic time-bending combat, deep interconnected roleplaying systems, and the ability to create your own 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.

SETTING 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 AND 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. 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 that you’ve come to expect from our games.

This is an exciting project for us at inXile. 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, but hope you enjoyed this pre-alpha sneak peek, and we look forward to sharing more… in due time.

Chad Moore × Jason Anderson will do what Tim Cain × Leonard Boyarsky didn't, I believe.

Inxile?

fool me once... ok, more like fool me thrice, but still

 

[Duraframe300]

Looks like Bioshock.

Doesn’t seem like an RPG, but fully action focused.

 

[jdinatale]

Black tranny main character. I want off this ride.

 

[FreeKaner]

If they manage to do something interesting with time travel it might be good, maybe being acquired by Microsoft lead to an end of inXile's ponzi scheme.

 

[Old Hans]

Looks like Bioshock.

that was my first though. this whole turn of the century sci fi vibe feels old and worn out, like we've been here a hundred times

 

[Zombra]

I heard a protagonist voiceover

 

[Riddler]

Premise and setting look promising

 

[Dodo1610]

Funny that InXile is alowed to make a crazy time travel steampunk RPG while Arkane was forced to make a Borderlands clone.

Redfall development began before Microsoft acquisition, this began after.

It looks great. I hope the game will be good.

Funny that InXile is allowed to make a crazy time travel steampunk RPG while Obsidian will spend the next ~5 years shoveling out mediocre Skyrim derivatives.

Black tranny main character. I want off this ride.

The hand of the protagonist when they were picking up the gun was white. I’m assuming the ugly black woman is just the “real” inventor of the time travel McGuffin.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

This looks good. Xbox heavy on the RPGs.

she's from the race of scholars, so

 

[OSK]

Action RPG? I knew Microsoft's money would turn them into making Bethesda/CDPR type shit.

Bloodlines was also an "Action RPG", it doesn't mean anything.

Steam page:

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.

Wasteland 3 was good.

There's custom character creation. They just went with a black woman default for the trailer.

 

[Fearlessjay]

Looked good to me. Then Inxile always struck me as a Obsidian without all the Bollux.

 

[Ryzer]

Looks like a complete knockoff of Bioshock with niggers on top and dogshit first-person combat.

LMAO even youtube classified the game as Bioshock infinite.
