- Xbox’s BioShock-inspired first-person RPG, Clockwork Revolution, is set to launch next year.
- The tidbit was leaked via the LinkedIn profile of former senior writer and narrative designer Nathan Long.
- The game is set in the vibrant steam-powered metropolis of Avalon, with an art style similar to BioShock.
Despite multiple 2025 game releases, many fans argue that Xbox still hasn’t done enough for its current-gen portfolio. However, the brand’s take on a BioShock-inspired RPG, Clockwork Revolution, is expected to turn things around for the best.
New evidence now suggests that the project is far closer to completion than we anticipated. The game appears to be aiming for a 2026 launch, as made clear by one of the game’s former lead developers, Nathan Long.
Why it matters: The evidence corroborates fan expectations about Xbox launching its BioShock-like first-person RPG next year, even if it’s already jam-packed full of releases.
Nathan’s LinkedIn profile reveals that Clockwork Revolution is set for 2026. He has worked as the senior writer, narrative designer, and lyricist for the game. Therefore, the release window is likely correct unless Xbox internally delayed the game since October 2025.
It’s also worth noting that Xbox has already shown about 7 minutes of Clockwork Revolution gameplay during the Xbox Games Showcase 2025, which implies it was already quite far into development about half a year ago.
Clockwork Revolution is described as a ‘time-bending steampunk first-person RPG,’ where the protagonist discovers an invention that lets them travel back in time. The game takes place in the vibrant steam-powered metropolis of Avalon.
By traveling back to key moments, your interactions and choices will have a butterfly effect on the deep, narrative-driven world and characters of Avalon, causing them to change and react in unprecedented ways.
The game boasts the culmination of inXile Entertainment’s experience thus far, bringing deep RPG mechanics, full character creation, a branching dialog system, and a bunch of dark humor to the table.
