"Clair Oblivion: ElderScrolls 33? Publisher's 'Barbenheimer' Moment"
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Publisher Draws Parallels Between Games Releasing the Same Week as Oblivion Remastered
Kepler Interactive Compares Situation to Barbenheimer Phenomenon
In an unexpected twist, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 found itself in the middle of a unique situation when Bethesda announced the surprise launch of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Kepler Interactive, the publisher behind Expedition 33, humorously referenced the infamous "Barbenheimer" moment on their official Twitter (X) account on April 22.
For those unfamiliar, the term "Barbenheimer" originated from the concurrent release of two highly anticipated films, Barbie and Oppenheimer, in July 2023. Fans attending back-to-back screenings embraced the stark contrast between the movies, donning vibrant pink attire for Barbie and switching to monochromatic grey for Oppenheimer. Kepler Interactive cleverly drew parallels between this cultural phenomenon and the simultaneous releases of Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered.
Despite the potential overlap, Expedition 33 remains steadfast in its commitment to its original release schedule. Fans are eager to see how the game will stand out amidst the excitement surrounding Oblivion Remastered.

Kepler Interactive recently shared the exact timing for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's global debut across all platforms. The game will unlock simultaneously worldwide on April 24 at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT. Below is the regional schedule to ensure you don’t miss out:
