Clair Obscur Studio Announces Official Esquie Plushie, Cautions Against Scams

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 boasts a rich tapestry of unforgettable characters, with Esquie standing out as a particularly endearing figure who seems destined to become a beloved mascot. Known for his gentle demeanor and towering presence, Esquie accompanies players early in the game as both a helpful ally and a means of exploration. His friendly nature and iconic design have sparked widespread affection among fans.

However, the excitement surrounding Esquie merchandise has led to concerns about counterfeit products. In a recent announcement on X/Twitter, Sandfall Interactive cautioned players about unauthorized Esquie plushies being sold online. "Any third-party websites offering Esquie plushies are not officially licensed," the studio clarified. "Several sellers are utilizing AI-generated images to promote their products, and we advise against purchasing from such sources due to potential scam risks."

Despite these warnings, the studio shared promising news about an official Esquie plushie in development. "We’re actively exploring ways to bring this beloved character to life in physical form," Sandfall stated. "Stay tuned while we work toward making this happen as quickly as possible. Until then, please exercise patience and avoid falling victim to fraudulent sellers."

For those unfamiliar with Esquie, he serves as a guiding companion during the initial stages of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. His resemblance to Big Hero 6’s Baymax has resonated deeply with players, prompting considerable interest in official merchandise. While unofficial versions flood the market, Sandfall and Kepler plan to release an authentic product in the future. Fans eagerly await updates on this project, though details remain scarce—such as whether the plushie will include any surprises, like being filled with wine.

Recently, Sandfall Interactive rolled out Patch 1.2.3 for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, fine-tuning Maelle’s Stendhal ability. Additionally, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed admiration for the game, praising its creators as exemplars of French innovation and creativity. As anticipation builds for the official Esquie plushie, players remain hopeful that Sandfall’s vision aligns with community expectations.
