Raw Fury’s PS2-style horror game Post Trauma is officially getting a “spiritual re-release” on June 23, following its unfortunate clash with the surprise drop of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. Launched on April 22, Post Trauma had the bad luck of releasing the exact same day Bethesda stealth-dropped Oblivion Remastered—a move that completely dominated gaming headlines and social media feeds. Despite being a promising indie horror title, Post Trauma risked getting lost in the noise.
A Love Letter to PS2-Era Horror
Post Trauma is a psychological horror game heavily inspired by genre-defining classics from the PS2 era—think Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 4, and Fatal Frame 2. With fixed camera angles, richly detailed environments, and brain-teasing puzzles, the game is a nostalgic return to survival horror roots, with modern touches and multiple perspectives enhancing the experience.
The game’s launch was supposed to tap into this retro-horror renaissance, but the unplanned overlap with Oblivion Remastered meant many players were distracted by their sudden return to Cyrodiil.
A Humorous Take on Unfortunate Timing
Rather than stay silent, Raw Fury leaned into the situation with humor and heart. In a lighthearted Twitter video posted here, the developers joke about how Oblivion Remastered overshadowed their launch day. One dev quips that they’ll re-release Post Trauma “once you finish playing Oblivion,” as the team is shown ironically enjoying the remaster themselves.
This has led to the announcement of the game’s “spiritual re-release” on June 23, complete with community events, giveaways, and livestreams—turning a mishap into a celebration.
What to Expect on June 23
While it’s not a technical re-release with changes to the game itself, the June 23 relaunch is a second chance for Post Trauma to gain the attention it deserves. The event will include:
-
Developer streams and commentary
-
Exclusive giveaways and community contests
-
Content creator spotlights
-
Discounts and promotions on digital storefronts
It’s an opportunity for horror fans—especially those who were preoccupied with Oblivion Remastered—to finally explore Post Trauma and appreciate its carefully crafted terror.
A Second Shot for a Standout Indie Horror
Raw Fury’s smart and humorous pivot has not only brought attention back to Post Trauma, but it’s also earned them plenty of goodwill in the community. Fans of classic horror games now have no excuse to miss this lovingly crafted title. So mark your calendars for June 23—whether you’re into moody corridors, cryptic puzzles, or just missed it the first time around, Post Trauma deserves its time in the spotlight.
