"Clair Oblivion: ElderScrolls 33? Publisher Calls It Their 'Barbenheimer' Moment"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's publisher, Kepler Interactive, has found itself in a unique situation with the unexpected shadow drop of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered just a week before their own game's launch. In a light-hearted response, Kepler Interactive drew a parallel between this gaming release clash and the cinematic phenomenon dubbed "Barbenheimer."

For those unfamiliar, "Barbenheimer" refers to the simultaneous release of the movies Barbie and Oppenheimer in July 2023, which captivated audiences with their starkly contrasting themes and aesthetics. Fans embraced the event by attending back-to-back screenings, switching from vibrant pinks to somber grays between films. Kepler Interactive's tweet on April 22 humorously likened the upcoming simultaneous launch of Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered to this cultural moment.

Despite the surprise release of Oblivion Remastered, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 remains steadfast in its commitment to its scheduled launch. Instead of rescheduling, the team is pushing forward, eager to share their game with the world.

As the release date approaches, Expedition 33 has announced its global launch times. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be available across all platforms simultaneously on April 24, 2025, at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT. Below is a detailed timetable for when the game will become available in different regions:
