At its Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, Microsoft debuted a trailer for a new steampunk RPG from inXile Entertainment studio...Microsoft shared a bit more detail in a post on the Xbox Wire blog: “This is a fantastical, first-person action RPG, with dynamic time-bending combat, deep interconnected roleplaying systems, and the ability to create your own unique character from the ground up"...

This could be a wildcard. A couple of shots made me think of Bioshock Infinite. Hopefully this will be good.
In the beginning of the teaser I actually thought it was Bioshock 4 with all that gold/bronze sprinkled everywhere.
The weapons looked pretty Bioshocky as well.

Same.

The gaming Internet would be on fire right now even possibly more than it is for Starfield if that had been teased.
 
Missed this thread the first time around, but this vid popped up in my feed this morning and I'm pretty intrigued with what I've seen so far.

I dig the Steampunk-futuristic-western look it has...visually, it's very interesting and seems to have over-the-top villains. Hopefully the gunplay feels good, the writing doesn't reek of adolescence, and the time shift mechanics aren't too gimmicky. It's coming to Game Pass, so I'll wait for the rental crowd to tell us how it is but it looks very cool based on the videos.

"Developed by the award-winning team behind Wasteland 3, this ambitious title represents a bold leap into immersive storytelling and reactive world design combining the studio's rich CRPG roots with first-person cinematic gameplay.

Set in the neo-Victorian metropolis of Avalon, a sprawling city powered by steam, alchemy, and clockwork machinery, players take on the role of Morgan Vanette, a fully customizable protagonist and influential figure within the rebellious Rotten Row Hooligans. With the aid of a mysterious device called the Chronometer, Morgan is able to travel back in time to pivotal moments in Avalon's history, rewriting events that drastically reshape the social, political, and technological landscape of the city in the present.

Gameplay merges visceral, time-bending combat with deep RPG systems. Players can wield retrofitted 19th-century firearms, mechanical weaponry, and time-altering gadgets in strategic real-time encounters. The Chronometer allows for "temporal rewinds" that let players manipulate enemy behaviors, create short windows of stasis, or revert failed choices mid-battle.

The game's branching progression paths, skills, traits, and moral decisions significantly impact how characters respond, how factions rise or fall, and even how entire neighborhoods evolve - from opulent high-rises to impoverished slums or mechanized battlegrounds. A major innovation in Clockwork Revolution lies in its world-state reactivity. Small changes to the past, like saving a revolutionary or sabotaging an inventor, ripple across time and manifest in major environmental and narrative differences. Players will see living examples of their choices in transformed architecture, faction allegiances, enemy tactics, and even public propaganda. These changes extend into visual storytelling - NPCs recall alternate timelines, graffiti reflects altered ideologies, and weather systems adapt to changes in industrial development.

The story explores themes of historical manipulation, class warfare, and the ethics of progress, as players uncover the dark secrets behind Avalon's seemingly utopian facade. Opposing Morgan is Lady Amelia Sable, a brilliant and ruthless technocrat who has already exploited the Chronometer to cement her power, reshaping history to her advantage. Much of the narrative unfolds through high-stakes confrontations, dialogue-driven investigation, and faction missions that challenge players to confront the consequences of rewriting history."
 
Looks very interesting indeed, I love Steampunk and Wasteland 3 was a fantastic game.
 
I'm getting a BIoshock Infinite vibe from the cities and atmosphere with a few other bits of games thrown in.
