When questioned about a potential Switch 2 release, Broche noted that the studio is currently inundated with opportunities and is still determining their priorities. He explained, "So clearly, it's too early to say, but we're kind of in a situation where... let's say there are a lot of opportunities showing up - way too many at once - and we're figuring out what we'll go for and what we won't. But yeah, it's definitely something that could be interesting."

No Official Merchandise Yet, But Plans in Motion

Amidst the flurry of opportunities, Sandfall Interactive has also received numerous requests for official merchandise, including a plush of the beloved character Esquie. The studio has yet to release any official merchandise for the game and has cautioned fans about counterfeit items circulating online. In a Twitter (X) post on May 14, they clarified, "To be clear: any third-party websites selling Esquie plushies are NOT officially licensed."

They also warned that many of these bootleg items feature AI-generated artwork, which Sandfall strongly advises against purchasing due to the risk of scams. However, they are actively working on creating official Esquie plushies.

The post continued with an optimistic note, "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!"
