Esquie Plushie Confirmed by Clair Obscur Studio, Beware of Scams

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 boasts a rich cast of characters, but none may capture hearts quite like Esquie, the game's endearing giant companion who could easily be mistaken for a mascot. Amidst the excitement surrounding this beloved character, Sandfall Interactive, the game's developer, has issued a warning about the proliferation of counterfeit merchandise, particularly fake Esquie plushies. In a recent X/Twitter post from the official Expedition 33 account, the studio highlighted the emergence of "suspicious" websites selling these unauthorized items.

"To be clear: any third-party websites selling Esquie plushies are NOT officially licensed," Sandfall Interactive stated. The studio cautioned fans about the use of AI-generated artwork in these advertisements and advised against purchasing from such sources, noting that these could be scams.

On a brighter note, Sandfall Interactive is actively working on an official Esquie plushie. They urged fans to remain patient and avoid falling for scams while they finalize the details. "In the meantime, please be patient — and don’t get scammed!" the studio encouraged.

For those who have delved into the world of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Esquie's appeal is evident. Introduced in Act 1, he serves as both a helpful companion and a means of overworld travel, reminiscent of Big Hero 6's Baymax. It's no surprise that an official Esquie plushie is highly anticipated. A quick Google search reveals both unofficial sites and discussions about Esquie plush sellers, but fans will need to wait for the authentic product from Sandfall and Kepler. There's no word yet on whether the plushie will include a wine-filled feature, adding a playful touch to the anticipation.

In other news, Sandfall Interactive recently rolled out patch 1.2.3 for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, which includes balance adjustments to Maelle's Stendhal ability. Additionally, French President Emmanuel Macron has commended the game, lauding its developers as a "shining example of French audacity and creativity."
