InXile dropped a new Clockwork Revolution trailer during the Summer 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, and while it's mostly about the detailed weapon crafting, revolution against a crushing totalitarian regime, and strategic time manipulation, it's also got a doll named Duke Pomphrey who swears a lot. He's got a reputation for generally being a rancid little guy, so much so that InXile introduces him as "the pissed-off doll," but you can periodically wind him up, so to speak, to get the benefit of his vast array of crude insults as well, because why not.
Clockwork Revolution still has no release date. InXile says it's coming "in due time," and the doll followed that up by telling everyone who had questions to "piss off."
Clockwork Revolution takes place in a steampunk, Victorian-ish city ruled by an elite whose fashion sense still calls the 18th century home, and they keep the masses in check by controlling time. Uprisings, even those with high-tech weapons modified by belligerent robots, are quickly quelled by the elite's ability to turn back time. Then, a rebel--you--gets hold of a device that can also change time, and a new war begins. You can change time during battles to reload your weapon, alter a bullet's trajectory, or erase a mistake entirely. That's in addition to a diverse set of gadgets you can use in combat and personal skills that augment your character's development.
InXile also teased larger-scale changes such as altering the course of history and the story, and studio head Brian Fargo said in an Xbox Wire interview that Clockwork Revolution has "all the crunchy systems and reactivity you'd expect." Game director Chad Moore said player choice will transform "entire regions of the world" as well. It's a big world as well. While the debut trailer focused on a large metropolis, there's a whole network of towns, cities, and slums for you to explore.
Duke Pomphrey isn't just there for some quick, crass laughs, either. InXile said he can play a pivotal role in the story depending on the choices you make while exploring the city and its surrounding environments.
