Expedition 33 Fans Convinced Upcoming DLC May Include Evil Esquie Boss Fight
Players of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are speculating regarding the possibility of a surprising battle featuring a corrupted version of the beloved companion. These theories arose following the studio revealed a free significant expansion packed with fresh adversaries and surprises.
What Ignited the Theories?
Recently shared artwork seems to depict a young character atop Esquie advancing on a veiled foe. This image heavily implies that Esquie could play a key role in the upcoming adventure.
Compounding the mystery, voice actors such as the actor voicing Esquie have been spotted recording fresh lines. Previously, he was shown as a benevolent presence who offered comfort and refreshment to expeditioners. Yet, hints suggested a dormant powerful nature—even a quote where Esquie remarked, “Bad things happen we get mad.”
Community Response and Online Hints
On social platforms, players are eagerly debating the idea of facing a evil Esquie. One user declared, “It’s time for the true final challenge: Esquie.”
Moreover, the studio updated its profile picture to a ominous image of a dark figure with a striking resemblance to Esquie. While this might be related to a Halloween event or fan art project, the red eyes and jagged mane render it difficult not to picture a threatening foe.

Expanded Storyline Possibilities
A number of theorists suggest that a key character, the sibling of the protagonists, may have painted a evil version of the being during their childhood. Per this theory, she may have employed this painting to scare Verso, and now it could be pursuing the group in a specific area of the world.
This hypothesis fits established lore, as the character has previously meddled with the realm, changing characters and arranging manipulations. Additionally, the comeback of Clea’s actress fuels belief that her role will grow in the DLC.
Conclusion
Could these ideas be exaggerated? Maybe the social media image is simply seasonal fun, and Esquie will stay his gentle usual self in the upcoming update. But, with so many clues suggesting a darker turn, fans are keenly anticipating what surprises await in Expedition 33’s latest installment.
