Back to Far Far Away

You play as Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and friends, travelling from Shrek’s swamp to the castle of Far Far Away and reliving moments from the DreamWorks film. It’s a pick-up-and-play action-adventure: smash, throw and kick your way through the story, swapping heroes at any time so you can use their unique abilities to fight enemies, beat bosses and solve environmental puzzles.

You can play solo or with up to three other players in couch co-op, online co-op or a mix of the two. The remaster adds improved visuals, a Photo Mode, a Cheats Menu, and Hero Time emotes.

Physical editions to pre-order

Aspyr has also put three physical Xbox Series X editions up for pre-order. The Standard Edition is $29.99 and is scheduled to ship in spring 2027. The Deluxe Edition is $49.99 and adds a steelcase storybook cover plus a replica Donkey coin in a red velvet pouch, shipping in autumn 2027. The Collector’s Edition is $189.99 and includes everything in the Deluxe Edition, plus a hangable “Beware Ogres” sign and an 8-inch statue of Shrek and Donkey with a jack-o’-lantern, also due in autumn 2027. Aspyr has only listed those physical prices in US dollars so far.
