The unexpected release of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered has cast a shadow over many other new games, including the psychological horror title Post Trauma, which draws inspiration from PlayStation 2-era classics. Instead of letting the game fade into obscurity, its developers and publisher Raw Fury have devised an innovative solution: a strategic re-release.

Rather than removing Post Trauma from stores, the team plans to give it a "second launch" on June 23, once the initial wave of excitement around Oblivion Remastered subsides and gamers have had time to explore Bethesda’s hit. This decision reflects a clever marketing strategy aimed at giving Post Trauma another chance to shine without competing directly against a major AAA title.

The original release of Post Trauma was unfortunately overshadowed by the sudden and unannounced arrival of Oblivion Remastered . While the horror game offers a chilling experience reminiscent of early 2000s survival horror, it struggled to capture attention amidst the buzz surrounding Bethesda’s remastered classic.

By waiting a few months, the developers hope to position Post Trauma in a less crowded market, where it can attract the attention it deserves. This move highlights the challenges smaller titles face when competing with high-profile releases and demonstrates the importance of timing in the gaming industry.

The re-release is purely a marketing initiative, as the game will remain available for purchase throughout this period. With this second push, Post Trauma aims to carve out its place in the horror genre and connect with players who may have missed it the first time around.
