Back in the present day the player will experience the ramifications and consequences of their past behaviors. The players choices will affect the people, stories, and even the city itself in unexpected ways.
Brian Fargo credits Microsoft and Xbox for giving InXile Entertainment the resources and support needed so that the studio could create their first AAA first-person action RPG. There is no release date yet for Clockwork Revolution, and the title is still in early development. The trailer, while in engine, was in a pre-alpha state.
