Currently, the unexpected unveiling and immediate distribution of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has left role-playing game enthusiasts in a state of apprehension. Meanwhile, as gamers download the 120 GB of Oblivion, the independent studio behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Sandfall Interactive, is getting ready for their first game’s launch. Both games will be accessible on Game Pass, making them equally affordable options for many subscribers. Fears are being expressed on social media platforms. Although Clair Obscur isn’t an Xbox Studios production like Oblivion now is, there seems to be a sense of injustice that a game built up over nearly a year could potentially be overshadowed by a nearly twenty-year-old remake’s reemergence.
Fans share concerns that Oblivion Remaster will overshadow an original RPG this week
It’s been long whispered that a remastered version of Oblivion is finally here, marking its official release today. Meanwhile, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, another role-playing game showcased on Xbox numerous times, is set to launch in just two days on April 24th. Despite being RPGs, these games share few similarities beyond the genre. While Clair Obscur takes inspiration from Japanese role-playing games such as Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and Persona series with its turn-based gameplay, Oblivion embodies the essence of Western RPGs, emphasizing open-world exploration and real-time action. Given their distinct differences, these games may cater to different audiences, even though they belong to the same role-playing genre.
Some comments on social networking sites have shown anxiety regarding the synchronous release timing of this shadow drop. Ryan McCaffrey, a high-ranking editor at IGN, posted a meme about it on social media. The message reads: “The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team when they received the call from Microsoft:” implying that the creators of Clair Obscur might not be entirely pleased with the announcement of Oblivion launching concurrently on the same subscription service. Likewise, numerous fans have voiced similar concerns in their posts.
Competing against one of the largest game developers in history and the world’s leading third-party publisher, who boast around thirty team members according to their site, might seem like a daunting task for this up-and-coming game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. However, with its visually stunning design, it certainly has potential to carve out its own niche. Despite not being as widely recognized as Bethesda or The Elder Scrolls, Clair Obscur can still make a mark for itself. The developers appear optimistic, even going so far as to share an edited image that combines Oblivion and Clair Obscur, suggesting they are content to share the gaming landscape with their more established counterparts.
At present, we’ll need to be patient as we observe the reception of both games. While the remastered version of Oblivion boasts impressive graphics, it continues to encounter problems such as crashes, poor performance, and stuttering. On the other hand, reviews for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have not been released yet, but last month’s previews were extremely favorable. Here’s hoping that both games will find their place this week.
