After discovering that the ruthless Lady Ironwood has altered history—using time travel to enrich herself while keeping Avalon’s people poor and powerless - you’re thrust into an adventure across time to turn back the clock and right Ironwood’s wrongs - however you see fit.

Principle Designer: Jason Anderson. Yes, that Jason Anderson.
Game Director: Chad Moore, another derelict spacecraft from Troika.

Could this be the closest we'll ever get to an Arcanum 2? The trailer looks amazing.

An interview with them + Brian Fargo.

How did the idea for Clockwork Revolution form, and how did the team form around it?​

Brian: The idea started well before we had finished Wasteland 3, and the number one request I was getting was to remake Arcanum, which, for the record, wasn’t one of mine! It was a Troika game. But that didn’t seem to stop people from asking. I already loved the genre, but that started to point me in this direction.


It’s a rich genre with so much room to play around in, and steampunk hasn’t been represented in RPGs very often. Steampunk’s already a fertile playground, and with time travel and our visual reactivity in the mix, we get to take it places it’s never been.


Chad: Yeah, when I first talked to Brian about joining inXile, he pitched me this exact idea. People had been bugging him to remake Arcanum, Jason and I had both worked on it, and he was really interested in making a steampunk game. He figured, ‘What better way to do that than to hire some of the guys who made it?’ I was his first hire on what would become Clockwork Revolution, and Jason followed soon after.

Old information as they did the same interview last year.

Having said that the trailer had some gameplay and looks interesting.

Only problem is no annucenent of a tentative release date yet.

Best trailer of the showcase imo. I hope it turns out to be as good as it seems.

Indeed. It's surprising how polished and good it looked. Certainly not something I expected from teams like inxile and/or obsidian. They usually have jank, even in their PR trailers
But this looked really good. I guess we'll also have to see when they start showing actual unscripted gameplay.

I also hope it's open enough and wide enough and deep enough. If it's great, this is one I'd probably pay 80 euros. Unlike Outer Worlds 2, which looks decent, but no way 80 euros decent.
