It looks like the highest-rated game of 2025 so far, the fantastical turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, is getting official merch. However, the developers of the game, Sandfall Interactive, have warned fans of the game about scammers popping up online.

The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Monolith Set has also been announced, including all the physical merchandise from the sold-out Collector’s Edition.

In a post that went up earlier today on the official Expedition 33 Twitter/X account, the devs said they had noticed several online stores claiming to sell plushies of Esquie, the game’s gentle giant, saying, “They could be scams.”

“We’ve noticed a number of suspicious websites popping up, claiming to sell Esquie plushies. This makes us whooo.

To be clear: any third-party websites selling Esquie plushies are NOT officially licensed. Many of them are using AI-generated artwork to advertise, and we strongly recommend against purchasing from these sources. They could be scams.

But here’s the wheee to balance out the whooo: we are looking into making official Esquie plushies, and we want to bring them to you as soon as we can. In the meantime, please be patient – and don’t get scammed!”

We are not surprised that there is a demand for a plush of Expedition 33’s resident friendly marshmallow guy/all-powerful lazybones, but we also believe that he deserves far better than the AI-generated slop you can see below. Whoooo, indeed!

While we here at the GSC are just as excited as the next expeditioner to get our hands on some official merch for Expedition 33, we are happy to wait and imagine what it’s like to get a hug from Esquie.
