Fans of "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" have much to anticipate this year, with the upcoming release of a Nendoroid figure for the beloved character Esquie and an anniversary update for the game. This new collectible perfectly captures Esquie's charming and spherical design, offering an exciting physical embodiment of the game's enchanting world.
Esquie, whose appearance already evokes that of a soft toy, is ideally suited for the Nendoroid treatment. This Japanese figurine style, known for its adorable and articulated statuettes, beautifully complements Esquie's distinctive and endearing features. The figure, crafted by Good Smile, is designed to be highly customizable. It includes a detachable headband, allowing collectors to officially integrate Esquie into their imaginary expedition teams. Furthermore, the figure enables the reunion of Esquie with his grumbling tortoise companion, François, albeit temporarily, as the humor in their dynamic often stems from Esquie's knack for misplacing his friend. Good Smile has also confirmed that additional interchangeable parts will be included, enhancing the figure's posability and display options.
The Nendoroid Esquie is priced at $45.99, and pre-orders are currently being accepted through Good Smile's official channels. However, eager collectors will need to exercise patience, as the manufacturer projects a shipping timeframe of spring 2027. The pre-order window is set to close in July 2026, urging interested buyers to secure their purchase promptly. Each pre-order will also come with a special background sheet, designed to serve as a miniature backdrop for displaying the Esquie figure.
This new figurine follows another notable merchandise release: a $429 replica of Gustave's arm, which was unveiled earlier in the month. Considering Gustave's narrative journey within "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," this particular item appeals to a niche, dedicated fanbase. For those who prioritize the interactive experience of the game, Sandfall Interactive's heartfelt RPG continues to deliver. An anniversary update, introduced in April, brought new customization options, including fresh hairstyles for expedition crew members, as they navigate the challenges presented in the free "Verso's Drafts" DLC. These continuous updates ensure that players can deepen their engagement with the game's rich universe.
The current year is proving to be exceptionally rewarding for enthusiasts of "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," with both appealing merchandise and engaging in-game content enhancing their overall experience.
