Fingers Crossed for Clockwork Revolutions as a Surprise Xbox Game This Year

Is Microsoft gearing up for a surprise blockbuster in 2026? When can we expect Overwatch to get the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners treatment? And will the next Dragon Quest Monsters game actually deliver? Welcome to your daily gaming news roundup, where we dive into the latest rumors and trends. Social media has lost its social touch, feeling more like a battleground of bots and scams. At least we can reminisce about all the Pokémon crimes that have unfolded along the way.

Among the upcoming titles are Clockwork Revolutions, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, and Fable, with both Resonance and Fable already slated for a 2026 release. It raises the question: could Clockwork Revolutions also be aiming for a 2026 launch?

inXile Entertainment, known for its RPGs, last released Wasteland 3 in 2020. Clockwork Revolutions represents a significant shift for the studio, moving from a top-down tactical perspective to a first-person action-adventure format. This will be the first title developed entirely post-Microsoft acquisition in 2018. With its steampunk aesthetic and time-manipulation gameplay, it has the potential to be one of Xbox’s standout first-party titles this generation.

Can Microsoft squeeze another major release into its already packed 2026 calendar? We’ll find out soon enough.

In other news, a mysterious new Death Star-like construct is making its way into the sci-fi sim, and it’s giving off serious Helldivers 2 vibes based on how Hello Games is discussing the new content, which just launched in update 6.4. Studio head Sean Murray mentioned that players will need to band together to uncover the mystery. Upon logging in, players will face a personality test that sorts them into three factions, each needing to collaborate, strategize, and compete against the Hive of Glass, a looming threat to the universe.

There’s been a lot of buzz about an Overwatch animated series, with fans eagerly asking, “When’s it happening?” The general manager of the game acknowledged the demand, hinting that there could be more storytelling experiences set in the Overwatch universe in the future.

For those curious about Capcom’s latest survival horror title, a demo is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC. While it showcases the early game, progress won’t carry over to the full version.

The upcoming Dragon Quest Monsters game, titled The Withered World, will feature protagonists Bianca and Nera from Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride. This series allows players to tame monsters for turn-based battles. The last installment, 2023’s The Dark Prince, sold a million copies but received mixed reviews.

The new game launches on September 24, introducing visual mode options to enhance framerate. However, save files won’t transfer between the upgraded port and the existing version on Switch 1.

Square Enix’s HD-2D remasters of the first three games in the series have collectively sold 4 million copies, a surprisingly strong performance. Perhaps the company should consider giving the same level of care to its entire back catalog instead of just focusing on upscaled versions.
