Hey NowShrek 5 is giving the titular ogre and family a new look, and it seems like only Xbox is happy about it"We are so back baby."Image credit: Dreamworks News by Oisin Kuhnke Contributor Published on Feb. 28, 2025 Everyone's favourite ogre has a new look for Shrek 5, but for some reason only Xbox seems to like it.It's been 15 years since Shrek last received a movie, but in 2026, Shrek 5 will finally be releasing, and it even just got its first teaser trailer yesterday. The trailer in question is pointedly memey, with Shrek and Donkey asking the magic mirror who the fairest of them all is, and that's Shrek himself apparently, as he scrolls through faux TikToks of him wearing sunglasses, doing a dance in a PVC suit that you'll probably remember as a trend on TikTok, and one of his face Photoshopped onto a very buff body. That then cuts to well, Shrek and Donkey, only with a slight redesign, their first since the series kicked off more than two decades ago.To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Fiona has one too, all three of them played by their original voice actors, i.e. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. But they're also being joined by Zendaya, who's playing Shrek and Fiona's daughter Felicia, a casting that makes perfect sense given that the original films always hired whoever was big at the time too. The thing is, not everyone is a fan of Shrek's new look. Just head to the replies on the Shrek Twitter account's posting of the trailer and you'll see comments like "what's up with their faces?" and "we changed Sonic, we can do it again."Personally, I really don't think it looks bad at all. Weird, sure, but that's just because I've been seeing this character everywhere for almost my entire life, but the animation itself is quite nice, and much more lively than the series previously has been - clearly Dreamworks is following up a touch on the genuinely great Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Yes, I too question the state of marketing these days, but Xbox UK has shared that it thinks "we are so back baby." I'm not really sure we needed any take on the state of Shrek's redesign from Xbox, but we have it, so that's that! Can't wait to hear what Nintendo UK thinks of the full trailer.Shrek 5 is currently slated for release July 1, 2026.
