Indie publisher is “spiritually re-releasing” its PS2-style horror game after it came out on the same day as Oblivion Remastered’s massive stealth launch

Beyond mere speculation and chatter online, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered‘s surprise release caught many off guard. This news is fantastic for players who prefer escaping the frustration of prolonged waiting for a long-awaited title. However, it poses a challenge for indie games that were somewhat overshadowed by Bethesda’s abrupt announcement.

One such title is PS2 horror tribute Post Trauma, a nostalgic scare-fest brimming with stationary camera views and mind-bending puzzles. It unfortunately released on the same date as Oblivion Remastered and has struggled to differentiate itself since.

Indie publisher Raw Fury is humorously planning to re-launch the game in approximately two months under the cheeky title ‘Post Trauma: The Re-Release – Except We’re Not Un-Releasing It First, and It’s Pretty Much the Same,’ slated for June 23. “Good rewards come to those who wait, so we’ll remain patient,” the publisher tweeted, alongside #PleaseNoShadowDropThisTime.

“Owing to unexpected events, we’re gearing up to spiritually re-release Post Trauma in about 8.5 weeks, which is rather arbitrary,” the lighthearted announcement video above notes. “There’ll be giveaways, live streams, and festivities on this extraordinary re-release day, so be sure to join… after you finish playing Oblivion, of course.”

Let’s hope Bethesda isn’t gearing up for Fallout 3 Remastered or, even more daunting, Skyrim Re-Re-Released for June.

In other news, Raw Fury has seemingly secured at least one significant success this year with one of 2025’s highly-rated titles so far: Blue Prince, which is doing considerably better than Post Trauma at this moment. Additionally, this week’s other notable launch, JRPG adoration Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has also managed to capture enough buzz amid the frenzy to sell over 500,000 copies within a single day.
