Clair Obscur Studio Announces Official Esquie Plushie, Cautions About Scams

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is filled with unforgettable characters, but few capture hearts quite like Esquie, the game’s endearing giant companion who has quickly become a fan favorite. With his gentle nature and crucial role in the journey, it's no wonder players are eager to take a piece of him into the real world—whether through memorabilia or collectibles. However, Sandfall Interactive, the studio behind the game, has issued a warning about counterfeit merchandise and offered a hopeful update about official plans for an Esquie plush.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the official Expedition 33 account alerted fans to the emergence of several "suspicious" websites offering Esquie plushies for sale.

"To be clear: any third-party websites selling Esquie plushies are NOT officially licensed,"

Sandfall stated firmly. "Many of these listings use AI-generated artwork and may be part of scams. We strongly advise against purchasing from such sources."

While dashing hopes of immediate availability, the studio also shared encouraging news: an official Esquie plush is currently in development. The team wants to ensure quality and authenticity before releasing it to the public.

"In the meantime, please be patient — and don’t get scammed!"

the developers added with a friendly reminder.

For those immersed in *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33*, Esquie’s popularity comes as no surprise. Introduced in Act 1, this lovable giant becomes both a loyal traveling companion and a key overworld transportation method. His personality and design evoke the same warm, protective charm as Baymax from Disney’s *Big Hero 6*, making him a natural candidate for merchandising. It’s easy to understand why fans would want to own a plush version of their in-game pal.

However, a quick Google search reveals unofficial sellers already trying to capitalize on that demand. Alongside fan forums discussing potential Esquie plush vendors, there are now imitation sites popping up—making it even more important for fans to wait for the official release.

Last week, Sandfall Interactive rolled out patch 1.2.3 for *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33*, which included balance adjustments for Maelle’s Stendhal ability. The game continues to gain recognition beyond the gaming community, recently receiving praise from French President Emmanuel Macron, who described its creators as a “shining example of French audacity and creativity.”

Until the official Esquie plush drops, fans will have to keep their eyes peeled and wallets closed when it comes to third-party offers. Whether or not the final product includes wine-filled comfort remains to be seen—but one thing is certain: Esquie’s charm extends far beyond the digital realm.
