Duskpunk, a steampunk-themed narrative role-playing game from solo developer Clockwork Bird, launched on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on 26 October 2026, the studio announced. The title was previously released for PC and is available on Steam.
What the studio says
Clockwork Bird, the developer behind Silicon Dreams and Spinnortality, described Duskpunk as a story-driven RPG inspired by Citizen Sleeper and tabletop role-playing games. The game follows a runaway soldier trying to survive in a city consumed by war, and the studio said it explores themes of hope, survival, and resistance as players guide their character through the city and make decisions about how to respond to its conflicts.
“...having its own ‘strong vibes’ and recommended it to fans of Citizen Sleeper,” Gareth Damian Martin said, recommending Duskpunk to players familiar with Citizen Sleeper.
The studio’s announcement notes that Duskpunk received positive attention following its original PC release; on Steam the game holds a 91% positive rating as reported by the developer.
Platforms and availability
Duskpunk is available now on the following platforms as stated by the developer and publisher:
- PlayStation 5
- Nintendo Switch
- PC via Steam
The studio did not specify regional storefront or local pricing in its announcement. The game’s prior release on Steam provides a reference for PC availability; console editions launched on 26 October 2026.
Context for players in the Philippines and Southeast Asia
Clockwork Bird’s move to release Duskpunk on PS5 and Nintendo Switch broadens access for console players in the Philippines and the region who may prefer playing outside of Steam. The studio’s mention of tabletop RPG influences and Citizen Sleeper as an inspiration positions Duskpunk toward players who favor narrative choice-driven experiences rather than action-focused RPGs.
Because the announcement gives platform availability but does not list local prices, Filipino players will need to check the Philippine PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop (regional availability varies), or Steam for local pricing and storefront availability. The developer’s statement did not indicate any Philippines-specific release window differences or special regional editions.
Clockwork Bird’s prior projects—listed by the studio as Silicon Dreams and Spinnortality—establish the team’s indie pedigree; the positive Steam rating is a sign of player reception on PC, which may inform consoles players’ expectations about the game’s narrative and design approach.
