Product Information

In addition to DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing, DreamWorks’ Trolls are coming to a separate game as well, DreamWorks Trolls Remix Rescue. Developed by Petit Fabrik, Trolls Remix Rescue is a 3D platformer that tasks players with saving the Trolls Kingdom from “a melodic mastermind who’s trying to alter the Trolls’ musical harmony forever,” GameMill said in an announcement.

ALL-STAR CAST OF DREAMWORKS CHARACTERS: Who will you choose? With favorites such as Shrek, Po, Tigress, Boss Baby, Puss in Boots, Hiccup, and Astrid, it’ll be hard to choose just one. The courses are neatly undulating and make great use of the films they’re based on. Mongo stands astride the city of Far Far Away from Shrek, as you dodge the King and Queen’s stretch limo-carriage.

Despite being revealed as Death in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, he is still referred to as "Wolf" in the game. Even on Xbox Series X|S the graphics are a little rough. We recently came from a review of Disney Speedstorm, and the difference is night and day. That game’s overblown visual flourishes and dynamism is completely absent here, and DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing ends up looking a little drab and basic as a result. Meanwhile, there were several licensed Shrek video games released during the lovable (if crude) green ogre’s theatrical heyday. While most of these games were standard movie tie-in fare that was soon forgotten, there are still plenty of gamers with fond memories of playing the team-oriented Shrek 2 game or 2005’s Super Smash Bros. clone Shrek SuperSlam. In the years since Shrek’s last cinematic outing, gamers have kept his memory alive through memes and mods that inserted him into titles like Resident Evil 3 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

This isn’t DreamWorks’ first foray into kart racing by a long shot. DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing stands on the shoulders of 2006’s Shrek Smash n’ Crash Racing, 2009’s Madagascar Kartz, and 2011’s DreamWorks Super Star Kartz, all of which featured a raceable Shrek. DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing will be heading to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, and PC via Steam at some point in 2023. As for when in 2023 it’ll see the light of day remains a mystery, though it’s fair to say that it’ll be targeting a Q4 launch, perhaps to coincide with the pre-holiday season rush, if anything.

At the time of writing, GameMill Entertainment hasn’t released any footage to showcase DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing in all its glory. Needless to say that the likelihood of it getting a launch trailer at some point in the next several weeks seems pretty high.
