Esquie Plushie Scam Warning and Official Merch Tease

While Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 boasts many memorable characters, none capture hearts quite like Esquie - the game's gentle giant companion who's essentially become its unofficial mascot. Developer Sandfall Interactive has issued warnings about counterfeit merchandise while hinting at an authentic plush currently in development.

Beware of Shady Merchandise Schemes

Through their official Twitter/X account, the studio alerted fans to concerning trends in unauthorized Esquie merchandise. Some third-party retailers have been caught using AI-generated artwork to hawk suspicious plushies. "These have no official licensing," Sandfall clarified, strongly advising against purchases from these potentially fraudulent sources.

The development team balanced their cautionary message with exciting news - confirming active development of legitimate Esquie plushies. "We're working to bring them to you properly," they assured fans, joking that enthusiasts should heed Esquie's signature phrase by tempering their excitement with caution.

Why Everyone Wants an Esquie Plush

For players who've experienced Expedition 33, Esquie's merchandise potential needs no explanation. This oversized companion joins your party in Act 1, serving as both traveling partner and mobile transport - essentially the game's equivalent of Big Hero 6's beloved Baymax.

A quick online search reveals how rampant the counterfeit market has become, with multiple discussion threads analyzing questionable merch sellers. While fans eagerly await official product announcements, one burning question remains unanswered - will Sandfall incorporate Esquie's signature wine-filled design into the real plush?

Recent Game Updates and Recognition

Sandfall Interactive recently deployed patch 1.2.3, primarily adjusting balance mechanics for Maelle's Stendhal ability. The game has also received high-profile recognition, with French President Emmanuel Macron praising it as "a brilliant showcase of French creative boldness."
