Shrek 2 Remastered brings Aspyr’s 2004 console game back on November 10, 2026, for $29.99. It launches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC, with co-op for up to four players.
The announcement trailer parodies the trailers for Grand Theft Auto VI. Shrek 2 Remastered’s November 10 release is scheduled nine days before GTA VI’s November 19 launch.
The original console game launched on PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox in 2004, selling more than four million units. The remaster is based on that console game, not the separate 2004 PC release, which was a single-player 3D platformer. The Steam release appears to follow the console version. A contemporary GameSpot review criticized the original PC edition’s visuals and gameplay and described its runtime as much shorter than the PS2 version.
Aspyr has rebuilt the game with improved textures, an updated interface, rebuilt cutscenes, and 4K resolution on supported systems. The original Switch does not support 4K. Photo Mode and a Cheats Menu with unlockable cheats are also included.
Players can go solo or team up locally, online, or through a mix of both. Characters can be swapped at any time, letting players use their different abilities in battles, boss fights, and environmental puzzles. Levels run from Shrek’s swamp to Far Far Away, with movie characters, familiar moments, and hidden Easter eggs along the way.
