Clockwork Revolution gets an in-depth reveal for Steampunk world

Clockwork Revolution got an in-depth reveal at the Xbox Showcase today that revealed the world of the 1895 Steampunk game.

Clockwork Revolution is an action role-playing game played from a first-person view. It has time bending combat, role-playing and more. It’s the latest title from Brian Fargo’s InXile Entertainment, now owned by Microsoft.  

Players use a Chronometer, a time-traveling tool to go back e in time, change the past, and return later to feel the effect of decisions. It’s a very violent game, with tons of mechanical devices and a fair amount of gunfighting with muskets and other weapons.

The game still has no launch date.
