Clockwork Revolution, the first-person shooter-RPG from inXile Entertainment, returned during the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 with a new trailer and a firm release window. The game arrives in 2027 as an Xbox console exclusive, with a same-window launch on PC.
Quick answer: Clockwork Revolution releases in 2027 on Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. It is an Xbox console exclusive, so it is not coming to PlayStation or Nintendo platforms. No exact day or month has been locked in yet.
Release window and platforms
Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty confirmed the exclusivity on stage, placing Clockwork Revolution alongside Gears of War: E-Day as the second title carrying the Xbox console exclusive label at the show. Microsoft pointed to a 2027 launch but stopped short of naming a specific date.

Note: Because the launch is described only as 2027, treat any specific day, month, or pricing claim with caution until inXile or Xbox confirms it directly.
Setting, characters, and the time-travel hook
The game takes place in Avalon, a steampunk city ruled by Lady Ironwood, who keeps her grip on power through time travel. She reshapes the past to protect the future she wants, and once you start uncovering her actions, her Industrial Secret Service agents begin hunting you. The protagonist, Morgan Vanette, sits at the center of that conflict.
The latest trailer introduced a flying automaton named Prentice, described as part observer and part companion. It also showed a crew planning a heist on the SS Vault Avalon, including the automaton Nazim, the brawler Frasmus, and Anne Darrow.
The heist itself falls apart, and a giant mech is sent in to finish off the crew. Before the protagonist is killed, a strange drone sends them 25 years into the past. From there, the mysterious Gauntlet lets you reshape Avalon to your liking, altering who ends up joining the gang and changing the course of events, along with the unintended consequences that follow.
Where to find more details
Additional specifics on Avalon, the cast, and the Gauntlet’s branching choices are laid out in the official Clockwork Revolution preview on Xbox Wire. That remains the most direct place to track future updates, and a precise release date should follow there once it is set.
For now, the key takeaways are simple. Clockwork Revolution is a 2027 release, it is exclusive to Xbox consoles and PC, and its core loop revolves around using time travel to rewrite Avalon’s past and deal with whatever that changes in the present.
