Clair Obscur Studio Announces Official Esquie Plushie, Cautions About Scams

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 captivates players with its rich narrative and memorable characters, among which Esquie stands out as a fan-favorite giant companion. Often described as a walking mascot, Esquie’s lovable demeanor has made him a symbol of joy within the game. However, the studio behind the title, Sandfall Interactive, has recently issued a warning regarding counterfeit merchandise, particularly concerning unofficial Esquie plushies.

In a recent announcement on X/Twitter, Sandfall Interactive emphasized that any third-party sites offering Esquie plushies are unauthorized. Many of these sellers utilize AI-generated images for marketing purposes, prompting the studio to caution players against purchasing from such unverified sources due to potential scam risks. Balancing concern with excitement, the studio confirmed it is actively exploring the creation of official Esquie plushies, aiming to release them as soon as possible. "Please be patient while we work on this," the studio urged fans, urging vigilance against fraudulent transactions.

For those unfamiliar with the game, Esquie serves as a supportive guide and transportation option in Act 1 of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, reminiscent of Big Hero 6’s Baymax. His endearing presence has sparked significant interest in official merchandise. A quick online search reveals several unofficial vendors and forums discussing the topic. While an official version remains in development, details about its contents—including whether it will feature the rumored wine filling—are still pending.

Recently, Sandfall Interactive launched patch 1.2.3 for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, focusing on balancing adjustments for Maelle’s Stendhal ability. Additionally, French President Emmanuel Macron publicly praised the game, hailing its creators as exemplars of French innovation and creativity.
