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 momentum towards its launch date when Bethesda unexpectedly released The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Kepler Interactive, the game's publisher, addressed this on their official Twitter (X) account on April 22, humorously likening the scenario to the Barbenheimer phenomenon.
For those familiar with pop culture, Barbenheimer refers to the unique event in July 2023 when the films Barbie and Oppenheimer were released on the same day. The stark contrast between Barbie's vibrant, pink-themed world and Oppenheimer's somber, dark narrative turned into a viral trend, with fans attending back-to-back screenings dressed in thematic outfits. Kepler Interactive used this cultural moment to illustrate the simultaneous release of Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered.
Despite the unexpected launch of Oblivion Remastered, Expedition 33 remains committed to its original release schedule, showing determination to stand out amidst the competition.
