Shrek 2 is an animated film from 2004, and its video game adaptation brought its characters into a co-operative action game. Players worked together through levels inspired by the film, using different characters and their abilities.
Aspyr, a studio that updates older games for modern systems, is handling the remaster. Remasters typically preserve the original game while improving how it looks or works on newer hardware. The game is remembered by some players for its co-op play, though it also had rough edges.
The listing describes support for four-player co-op, including online and local play, alongside visual and interface updates. Its return may interest people who played the original and introduce it to new players.
