Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is set to launch during the same week as the unexpected release of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Kepler Interactive, the game's publisher, has humorously likened this situation to the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon.
Kepler Interactive Compares It To Barbenheimer
The term "Barbenheimer" emerged in July 2023 when the films Barbie and Oppenheimer premiered on the same day, sparking a cultural sensation due to their starkly contrasting themes and aesthetics. Fans embraced the event by attending back-to-back screenings, often dressed in contrasting styles to match each movie's vibe. Kepler Interactive used this analogy to describe the simultaneous release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered.
Despite the surprise launch of Oblivion Remastered, Expedition 33 remains committed to its scheduled release, refusing to alter its launch date amidst the competition.
