Fans worried Oblivion Remastered could drown out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but Bethesda itself is cheering it on with 7 Adoring Fans: "We can't wait to play"
Clair Obscur seems to be doing just fine

The surprise launch of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered threatened to suck the air out of the industry for at least the rest of the week, with indie publisher Raw Fury noting how "everything more or less gets buried" under a shadow drop like this.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a new turn-based JRPG and the debut title from developer Sandfall Interactive, launched today, April 24. This followed a few days of concern mixed with word-of-mouth promotion from devs🤡 and hopeful players who didn't want to see the game slip through the cracks. We can now add Bethesda to that list of devs.

Per our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 review, the game itself is absolutely brilliant – a razor-sharp, achingly gorgeous turn-based RPG with a kinetic, reactive bite. We're not the only ones saying so, either. It's now one of the best-rated games of the entire year, and it certainly s⛄eems to be doing well for itself.
At the time of writing, Expedition 33 is on the coveted front page banner and has already passed 2,000 glowing reviews on Valve's storefront alone. According to the estimations of Steam marketing expert Chris Zukowski, Landfall has instantly made it to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the promised land of "real Steam" and꧋ is on track to ride the algorithm to considerable success.
It's also getting a boost on Xbox and PC via Game Pass (tho💝ugh Oblivion Remastered is surely eating some Game Pass time budgets right now), which never hurts and often helps immensely.
But a good game does not guarantee a successful game. We've also seen surprise launches from big publishers bury indies before. And even if the ܫtwo games are generally aimed at different audiences, in post-Oblivion purgatory there was some reasonable trepidation around the odds of Expedition 33 cutting through the noise.

Kepler itself joked that this week's RPG pairing was "like Barbenheimer," referencing the box office pairing of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Publishing director Michael Douse of Baldur's Gate 3 studio Larian 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:threw support behind the game as well, struck by the f🌱act that "this game was made by a team that has fewer people than I have years."
Fortunately, it seems those pre-release worries have passed. Expedition 33 looks like a bonafide banger and a certified hit – quite the debut for a studio largely assembled from ex-Ubisoft devs.
