Clockwork Revolution Locked In as Xbox Console Exclusive for 2027
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
inXile Entertainment's steampunk RPG Clockwork Revolution is scheduled for 2027 as an Xbox console exclusive and PC release, confirmed during the recent Xbox Games Showcase.
inXile Entertainment stepped up during the Xbox Games Showcase with a fresh look at Clockwork Revolution, confirming a 2027 release window alongside confirmation that the steampunk RPG will launch as an Xbox console exclusive and PC release. The new gameplay trailer, titled The Heist, leaned hard into the time bending mechanics and first person action that have already drawn plenty of comparisons to the BioShock series. Beyond the gadgets and the sharp wit of Morgan's Rotten Row Hooligans, the core hook revolves around rewriting history and dealing with the consequences of your choices in a dynamic world.
The exclusivity announcement caught many by surprise, arriving alongside similar news for Gears of War: E-Day. Newly appointed Xbox CEO Asha Sharma used the showcase to signal a sharper focus on platform exclusivity, clarifying that these major titles are not timed exclusives skipping the PlayStation 5. While the broader industry has spent recent years leaning heavily into multiplatform strategies and day one cloud rollouts, Microsoft is pulling some of its biggest heavy hitters back to its own ecosystem.
For players tracking how hardware boundaries are shifting, this move resets expectations for major first party releases. As the community digests the showcase lineup, the conversation immediately turns to how inXile will execute its ambitious time manipulation mechanics when the game finally arrives in 2027. Original reporting and further details on the showcase can be found over at Eurogamer.
