This week has been a significant time for fans of RPGs as Bethesda’s Oblivion Remastered was unexpectedly released, providing an impressive facelift for the classic game originally launched 19 years ago.

However, the timing coincides with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by Sandfall Interactive, which is set to launch on April 24. Oblivion’s surprise release looms large, already overshadowing the positive reviews received for Clair Obscur.

Responding to this unfortunate clash, the publisher made light of the situation, with a humorous tweet featuring imagery of their characters in front of an Oblivion gate, saying it’s like ‘Barbenheimer’, a nod to the simultaneous release of the Barbie and Oppenheimer films.

Bethesda also joined the fun, responding to the tweet with enthusiasm and anticipation to play the new game, further capturing the playful spirit surrounding this quirky gaming moment. Overall, both games, while competing for attention, highlight a rich and exciting period for RPG fans.
