Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Releasing The Same Week as Oblivion Remastered Shadow Drops

Kepler Interactive Compares It To Barbenheimer

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been building excitement towards its launch when Bethesda unexpectedly released the long-awaited The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. On April 22, Kepler Interactive took to their official X (formerly Twitter) account to address the situation with a light-hearted comparison to the Barbenheimer event.

The Barbenheimer phenomenon captured the public's imagination in July 2023 when the starkly different films, Barbie and Oppenheimer, premiered on the same day. The contrast between Barbie’s vibrant, pink-themed world and Oppenheimer’s somber, dark narrative led to fans attending double features, switching from bright, colorful outfits to more subdued tones. Kepler Interactive drew parallels between this cinematic event and the concurrent launches of Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered.

Despite the potential for Oblivion Remastered to overshadow their game, Expedition 33 remains committed to its original release schedule, showcasing confidence in their product.
