What do you get when you cross Vampire the Masquerade and Arcanum? A new Xbox exclusive

Revealed a few weeks ago during the Xbox Games Showcase, Clockwork Revolution is a steampunk RPG from developer inXile. From the first look, we were interested to know more about this BioShock-like title and what this city entails, described in the presentation trailer as a “miracle of progress”.

Project manager Chad Moore has since taken to twitter to share your own version of Clockwork Revolution. He declares it as the “love child of Arcanum and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodline”, and the game has “deep world-building, compelling narrative, crisp RPG systems, engaging gameplay, and massive reactivity.” Words that will make most RPG fans salivate.

Clockwork Revolution will take place in Avalon, a large steampunk-style city where the player discovers time travel. As a result, the player returns to the past and realizes that the city of Avalon was actually built using the manipulation of historical events. We all know that’s dangerous!

The trailer shown at Xbox Game Showcase gave us a brief look at the gameplay of Clockwork Revolution and the city of Avalon, with the player taking part in events both past and present. The actions you take part in in the past will ultimately influence your present, and as a result, it seems that relationships with the people of Avalon will also be affected.

First noted by the people of PC GamerClockwork Revolution project manager Chad Moore was previously a developer at Troika Games, a studio founded by the creators of Fallout 1. Two of Troika Games’ notable titles include Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodline and Arcanum, the two role-playing games that Moore claims that Clockwork Revolution is a love child of.

This means that Moore is definitely no stranger when it comes to helping create strong RPGs, and considering that he worked on both games, Moore’s words carry more weight than the usual marketing gimmicks that compare the games to the biggest hits. of that genre.

On top of that, Troika Games co-founder and Fallout 1 developer Jason Anderson is also working on Clockwork Revolution. Anderson also helped work on Arcanum and Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodline, as well as Wasteland 2, Project V13, and Evolve.

And what exactly has the rest of the inXile team been up to? Well, the developer is behind the squad-based RPG Wasteland, The Bard’s Tale Trilogy, and Tormet: Tides of Numerra. So these guys are certainly no strangers to RPGs.

Ultimately, all signs point to Clockwork Revolution, at the very least, being a solid RPG given the breadth of RPG experience behind it and the great RPGs it’s been inspired by.

Clockwork Revolution is expected to launch on Xbox Series X and PC during 2024. What do you think of Clockwork Revolution so far?
