A Microsoft Store product page for the unannounced title 'Shrek 2 Remastered' was temporarily made public on October 16 (local time).
According to the store listing spotted and reported by gaming outlet Gematsu, the title is a remastered version by Aspyr of the 2004 action-adventure game based on the DreamWorks Animation movie of the same name. The supported platform listed on the product page is Xbox Series X|S.
The store description introduces an adventure spanning key locations from the original film, from Shrek's swamp to Fiona's castle in the Kingdom of Far Far Away. Players can swap their controlled hero in real time as they progress, using each character's unique abilities to battle enemies and bosses and solve environmental puzzles.
Graphics and quality-of-life features tailored for the remaster were also detailed. The visuals overall have been rebuilt with improved textures, an enhanced user interface (UI), 4K resolution, and updated cutscenes, while a 'Photo Mode' for capturing in-game moments and a 'Cheat Mode' to assist gameplay have been newly added.
Co-op gameplay modes have also been expanded. In addition to solo single-player play, the listing indicates support for up to four-player co-op via local split-screen (couch co-op), online multiplayer, and a hybrid combination of local and online play.
The Microsoft Store product page has currently been removed and is inaccessible. As an official announcement from Aspyr has not yet been made, the exact release date and availability on other platforms remain unconfirmed.
