Clockwork Revolution release date estimate, trailers, and latest news

When is the Clockwork Revolution release date? Clockwork Revolution is the latest game from InXile Entertainment, known best for its long-running Wasteland series. In this steampunk first-person RPG game, you have the ability to turn back time using a special device, capable of altering the course of history.

InXile is looking to blend its RPG game expertise with shooter mechanics, and we're all for it. Before you take your first steps in changing the city of Avalon, here's everything we currently know about the Clockwork Revolution release date, as well as all trailers and gameplay details revealed so far.

We believe the Clockwork Revolution release date will be sometime in 2026. The game has been confirmed to launch on PC and Xbox Series X|S.

While the trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase in June 2025 showed off a lot of gameplay, the devs are staying tightlipped about the release date, with the trailer revealing that it is "coming in due time". Considering how long the game has been in development for, as well as the amount of gameplay we've seen, it would be very unlikely for this game to launch in 2027.

It's unclear whether Clockwork Revolution will release on PlayStation 5, but given Microsoft's current strategy to launch its games on every platform it can, this would be a strange omission if it didn't launch on Sony's console.

Clockwork Revolution gameplay

There's a lot to deduce from the five minutes of new gameplay, starting off with the character creation screen. We've got our first look at the attributes on offer, as well as the effects and traits your character has at the beginning of the game. In traditional RPG fashion, you're able to decide how you want to distribute your stat points, with each category broken down into attributes like agility and social.

To play into the steampunk aspect, there's a gunsmith that allows you to build custom weapons using various parts from around the world. We see a pistol being altered using gun parts and metal cylinders for the barrel. Judging by the UI, it looks like there are six different parts of the pistol to tinker with, giving you plenty of ways to make your arsenal tuned to your liking.

Clockwork Revolution trailers

The game was officially revealed during the Microsoft Xbox Showcase in June 2023. Here, we get a glimpse of the story where we play as a revolutionary fighter rebelling against the rule of Lady Ironwood, the game's antagonist. Avalon features a network of suspended railroads and steam-powered automatons, incredibly advanced technology for the period of time the game is set in.

As Morgan Vanette, you're armed with the power to reverse and alter time itself. There are moments in the trailer where Morgan's choices change the future so dramatically that the brightly colored town becomes a dilapidated fascist police state where armed androids patrol the streets.

The latest trailer takes us through the slums of Avalon where we see Morgan's gang, the Rotten Row Hooligans, for the first time. It appears Morgan can be customized, allowing you to create the perfect character by changing their appearance and background. While the settings of the two trailers may appear to be drastically different, this is because the first trailer took place in Midward, the upper-class region of Avalon.

That's everything we know about the Clockwork Revolution release date, and it will be a while until we find out more about InXile Entertainment's latest game. In the meantime, there are a huge number of upcoming PC games coming in the future that you should check out, or alternatively see what the best PC games are from the past year.
