Defining Duke, Episode 257 | Is Clockwork Revolution Dropping In 2026?!
🕑 Added 2025-12-04 17:00:17 +0000 UTCDespite any gripes with Xbox this year, there's no denying that 2026 presents a fun challenge for them. Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Halo, and Gears Of War E-Day are all slated to drop next year. However, a new wrinkle has been introduced in the ambitious RPG, Clockwork Revolution, which hails from inXile Entertainment. After a seven minute trailer from this summer's showcase, we felt this thing had to be ready to go soon. Sadly, the RPG titan tempered our expectations when the trailer ended with the familiar statement from its initial reveal: "Coming in due time." Well, if a LinkedIn profile is to be believed, Clockwork Revolution may join the fray of a busy year for the "biggest publisher in gaming." Naturally, we hone in on GTA 6 which creates a splash radius so large that every publisher will be avoiding them for the fall. How Xbox navigates this will be interesting as we have yet to consider overdue titles like State Of Decay 3 and third party deals. Buckle up, friends! It's going to be a wild ride.

Hope this is the right place to ask - this one is for Lord Turn Based but please feel free to chime in Matty. Since the birth of my daughter, I’ve had limited time for gaming. When I can, I’ve been gravitating towards turn based games, or games I can pause as to not miss important cutscene etc. what suggestions do you have that would fit this bill? I’ve been going though XCOM2 WOTC( again), Wartales, BG3, Crusader Kings 3 Dispatch and Detroit become human. Further mentions hugely appreciated. Cheers to you both

Thinking the PSP thumb stick is a speaker is wild. Even if you thought that, how did you not mess with everything right away to figure out that it wasn’t? 😄 lol at Matty saying “Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.” during the Splinter Cell remake talk. Sounding like Diddy adlibs. #FirstHalfDD

Hello, Dukes! Always good to see and hear you. Tito Perez has a really interesting follow up on his insane OG XBOX Prototype. Hope you enjoy! https://youtu.be/kfaJ7gFdmyM

I think he meant they would carry over to Shovelknight 3D?

I’m confused how does kickstarter money help Yacht Club now? Matty said they have a built in audience to buy their game?? Those people already gave their money.
