What Ignited the Theories?

Recently shared concept art seems to depict a young character riding Esquie advancing on a veiled enemy. This image strongly hints that the gentle giant could play a pivotal part in the upcoming content.

Adding to the mystery, voice actors including the performer voicing Esquie are recorded recording new dialogue. In the original game, he was shown as a benevolent figure who provided comfort and wine to expeditioners. However, hints suggested a dormant powerful side—even a line where Esquie remarked, “Bad things happen we become angry.”

Community Response and Social Media Hints

On online forums, fans are eagerly debating the prospect of facing a evil Esquie. One user declared, “It’s time for the true super boss: Esquie.”

Additionally, the studio changed its profile picture to a ominous image of a shadowy figure bearing a striking similarity to Esquie. While this might be tied to a Halloween event or community project, the red eyes and spiky collar render it difficult not to picture a menacing Esquie.

Expanded Storyline Theories

Some theorists propose that Clea, the sibling of the protagonists, could have painted a evil version of Esquie during their childhood. Per this idea, she might have employed this creation to frighten her sibling, and now it could be pursuing the group in a particular region of the canvas.

Such hypothesis fits established lore, as the character has before interfered with the canvas, altering figures and arranging manipulations. Additionally, the return of her voice actor fuels the notion that her part will grow in the downloadable content.

Final Thoughts

Could these theories be overblown? Perhaps the online image is just seasonal fun, and the character will remain his gentle usual self in the new content. However, with numerous hints suggesting a darker turn, fans are eagerly awaiting what surprises await in Expedition 33’s newest installment.
