Clair Obscur Studio Announces Official Esquie Plushie, Cautions About Scams

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is home to a rich cast of characters, but few are as instantly beloved as Esquie — the gentle, giant companion who quickly steals the spotlight. Equal parts charming and functional, Esquie serves not only as a loyal in-game ally but also as a unique overworld transportation method, making him a standout favorite among players. Think Baymax from Big Hero 6 meets whimsical RPG charm — it's no wonder fans are eager to bring a piece of him into the real world.

Recently, Sandfall Interactive took to X (formerly Twitter) to address growing concerns about counterfeit merchandise featuring the popular character. The developer confirmed that numerous third-party websites have begun offering unlicensed Esquie plushies, often advertised using AI-generated imagery. In a clear warning to fans, the studio emphasized that these sellers are not affiliated with them and may pose scam risks.

However, it’s not all bad news. The team at Sandfall also hinted that official Esquie plush merchandise is currently in development. While there's no release date yet, the developers encouraged fans to remain patient and avoid purchasing from unofficial sources in the meantime. As they put it: “Please be patient — and don’t get scammed!”

Given Esquie’s popularity, it's easy to understand the demand for official merchandise. His lovable design and integral role in the game’s narrative make him a natural mascot — one that players want to celebrate beyond the digital space. A quick search online already reveals unofficial offerings and fan discussions around where to buy Esquie-themed items, further proving his iconic status.

Meanwhile, Sandfall Interactive continues to support Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 with regular updates. Patch 1.2.3 was released just last week, bringing balance adjustments — notably refining Maelle’s Stendhal ability. The game has also earned praise outside of gaming circles, including recent recognition from French President Emmanuel Macron, who described the development team as a “shining example of French audacity and creativity.”

While we wait for official plush drops and possible wine-filled surprises, fans are advised to stay alert and stick with trusted channels for any future merchandise releases.
