Clockwork Revolution Coming In 2027 As Xbox Console Exclusive
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/0de4b12b/clockwork05.jpg.webp) The team at inXile has been hard at work on Clockwork Revolution, but every new showing is increasingly impressive. Today’s presentation showed off some of the major cast members that will be joining in on the adventure, but also highlighted the way the game will feature time travel as a core mechanic, letting the player go back to the city 25 years earlier in 1867, and then letting you manipulate how things will be in the present. The moment-to-moment gameplay looks to follow in the spirit of games like BioShock and Dishonored, encouraging players to use a variety of tools, paths, and strategies to navigate large open environments, bring down foes, and (frequently) dispose of threats in amusing ways. Today, we learned the game is now targeting a 2027 release date, and it is one of a couple of big games from Xbox that will be Xbox console exclusives when they launch.

Spyro: A Realm Beyond Is A Brand New Spyro Adventure
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/43a4d7d3/spyro.jpg.webp) Spyro: A Realm Beyond is not a remake of a previous Spyro game. Instead, it is a brand new adventure where the purple dragon is apparently stranded in "a realm beyond" and trying to find a way home while battling an invading force called the Scavs. The brief gameplay footage shown of the game, after a pre-rendered sequence, appears to show a strong emphasis on freeform flying. Spyro: A Realm Beyond releases Spring 2027 for Xbox (on Game Pass), PlayStation 5, PC, and Switch 2.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformPersona 6 Is Finally Official After Years Of Waiting
Following a series of leaks(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/leaked-persona-6-design-docs-reveal-potential-protagonists/) earlier this week, Sega and Atlus have officially revealed Persona 6, the next mainline entry in the long-running RPG series. The trailer was incredibly sparse on details, showing only a dark, ominous environment that looked a lot like a cemetery, bathed in green light. The color is important, as green has been associated for Persona 6 rumors for years now. For reference, all mainline Persona titles have a color attributed to them, with red for Persona 5, yellow for Persona 4, and blue for Persona 3. Little else was revealed in the trailer, outside of confirming that the game will launch for Xbox Series X|S and PC. https://youtu.be/9lwef2jan-Q?si=i227oDItpjSm9DdY Persona 6's reveal comes during a momentous time for the franchise, as it celebrates its 30th anniversary. While there hasn't been a new mainline game since 2016's Persona 5(https://www.gamespot.com/games/persona-5/), the series has grown tremendously since then. Persona 5 received a massive overhaul in 2019's Persona 5 Royal, and Atlus has released several spin-off games in the last decade, including rhythm games, a dungeon-crawler for the Nintendo 3DS, a crossover with Dynasty Warriors, and even a well-received remake of Persona 3: Reload. Additionally, Atlus is also working on a Persona 4 remake(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/persona-4-remake-sounds-like-its-still-a-long-ways-away/1100-6532621/), which the company says will remain faithful to the original story while also being updated visually and mechanically for the modern age. It launches on February 28, 2027, with a new trailer debuting during the Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/persona-4-revival-coming-february-2027-included-in-game-pass/). If you're looking to see what all the JRPG fuss is about, Persona 5: Royal will be added(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-game-pass-new-games-for-june-revealed/) to the Xbox Game Pass library on June 9.
Persona 6 Finally Revealed, Though We Still Don't Know Much About It At All
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/07/af98a00a/p6.jpg.webp) Persona 6 has finally been revealed – it's real! It's been nearly 10 years since the last new mainline Persona game. Unfortunately, the existence of Persona 6 is quite literally all we know. In the teaser reveal trailer, which aired during today's Xbox Games Showcase, we got a strange and mysterious look at what appears to be a graveyard of sorts. The camera pans over the gravestones before highlighting a large monument with what appears to be a nobleman missing a head. We see someone – presumably from our Persona party – touching the monument, and then the trailer flashes to the logo, which you can see as the header image of this story. Check out the Persona 6 teaser reveal trailer for yourself below: As you can see, there's not a lot to go off of here, but it's clear this game's color theme is green, following blue for Persona 3, yellow for Persona 4, and red for Persona 6. As for what this means, or how our cast will summon their Personas, that remains a mystery.
