Clockwork Revolution gameplay reveal

[Resardiv]

Brian Fargo's studio inXile had a gameplay reveal for its latest game Clockwork Revolution at the Xbox Showcase 2025.
A relase date is yet to be announced, the game was first revealed in 2023.

"This new trailer delves into the darker side of Avalon, and the mean streets that you (as Morgan Vanette) grew up on with your gang, the Rotten Row Hooligans. In this trailer we set out to show some of the depth of the world, the grittier side of town, as well as some of the RPG systems you’ll use to customize your character, interact with the people and world, and take the fight to Lady Ironwood and her forces."

On their website they describe the game as:

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."

It looks very modern.

I had thought this was going to be an Arcanum spiriual sequel and had gotten excited, but then I watched the video.

It looks good I guess, but not sure if it's my thing. Guess I'll try it when Director's Cut or whatever collected edition gets released.

That being said, it's always nice to see steampunk given some love.

Hopefully it doesn’t end in the same situation as Avowed, where Obsidian bit off more than it could chew. Going from isometric 2D to 3D is a huge leap.

Looks cool, but that dialogue... not a fan.

That art looks very much like Arcanum's box art, though. Like, to the point where you'd expect this game to be Arcanum 2. Which it clearly isn't.

Aaaahhh, Arcanum ... My favourite game ever. I often walk the streets of Tarant or Caladon in my dreams, followed by Ugly Mutt and faggot Virgil whining like a bitch about goddamn 'wings of fire'. How I miss that game.

I am reminded of this:



It is indeed a fantastic game. Too bad so much stuff was cut out.

i was surprised that the game was fps instead of top down point and click

There's always New Arc Line.
