inXile Combines Steampunk With Time Travel In “Clockwork Revolution”
by Sage Ashford
inXile Entertainment has been silent since their last game, Wasteland 3, released back in mid-2020. During the Xbox Games Showcase though, the developer resurfaced to show off their next game, the steampunk action-RPG Clockwork Revolution. This new game takes place in the fictional city of Avalon, a Victorian-era utopia for the rich and powerful.
The protagonist stumbles across the ability to traverse time though, and learns the truth of Avalon: that it’s existence is due to the meticulous time travel of Avalon’s Lady Ironwood. Xbox Wire discusses what will become the main story of Clockwork Revolution: players using their own time travel powers to change the time stream. However, “fixing” spacetime isn’t as easy as it seems, and the player’s decisions in the past will have different effects in the present.
Clockwork Revolution will release exclusively for PC and Xbox Series consoles.
