Clair Obscur Studio Launches Esquie Plushie, Warns of Scams

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 features numerous unforgettable characters, but none radiate pure delight quite like Esquie—the game's towering, endearing companion who practically serves as its mascot. While the studio cautions against counterfeit merchandise scams involving him, they've also hinted at an officially licensed Esquie plush currently in development.

Via a post on X/Twitter from Expedition 33's official account, Sandfall Interactive revealed encountering multiple dubious websites selling unauthorized Esquie plush toys.

"Let us clarify: any third-party sites offering Esquie plushies lack official licensing," stated the studio. "Most utilize AI-generated promotional art, and we strongly advise avoiding these sellers—they may be fraudulent."

In true Esquie fashion—balancing exuberance with wisdom—Sandfall confirmed plans for authentic plushies while urging patience: "We're working to release them promptly. Until then, stay vigilant against scams!"

Players familiar with Clair Obscur immediately understand Esquie's merchandise appeal. For newcomers, this gentle giant introduced in Act 1 serves as both loyal companion and primary mode of overworld transport, embodying Baymax's charm from Big Hero 6.

Given these qualities, the demand for Esquie plushies comes as no surprise—making Sandfall's official version particularly anticipated. Quick online searches reveal shady retailers and fan discussions about availability. While awaiting authentic merchandise from Sandfall and Kepler, one lingering question remains: will the real plush feature Esquie's signature wine-filled belly?

Recently, Sandfall Interactive deployed Patch 1.2.3 for Clair Obscur, fine-tuning Maelle's Stendhal ability. The game earned presidential recognition too, with France's Emmanuel Macron applauding its developers as "emblems of French creative boldness."
