PowerWash Simulator’s Shrek Special Pack release is out this October, not too far, far away

Developer FuturLab has announced that the Shrek Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator will be released on October 10, 2024. The DLC adds a selection of new levels from the Shrek cinematic universe alongside a 🐓fancy new cost🗹ume to wear while cleaning.

PowerWash Simulator’s Shrek Special Pack was revealed during a Nintendo Direct earlier in 2024, but no release date was given for it at the time, outside of a fall release window. Now we know exactly when we’ll be able to return to these fantastical lands and experience the messier side of it all. FuturLab has also confirmed the locations we’ll be able to clean up, including one that I’m particularly excited about because it’s definitely going to be the most covered in colorful spills and thrills.

I need a hero

The levels that the Shrek Special Pack takes PowerWash Simulator players to in October are as follows.

• Shrek’s Swamp: The big green ogre’s home turf has been coated in a thick layer of colorful grime that has the audacity to make it look more fun. Clean it all up and admire the easter eggs and attention to detail in every inch of the location that’s been painstakingly pulled together from the movies.
• Duloc: Duloc castle is usually dull and grey, but a few artistic knights took it upon themselves to spruce the place up. Clean up all their hard work and get the castle back to being as efficient and oppressive as can be.
• Fairy Godmother’s Potion Factory: This is the location I’m most excited about. It gets colorful and messy in the movies, and everything is just as disorganized and unsightly as you’d expect from the aftermath of Shrek 2. There are even working machines to clean up as you go, which is no easy feat by yourself.
• Dragon’s Lair: Dragon’s treasure is as dirty as can be, so you need to return it to its shining glory. There are tasty treats to uncover in the grime, though I’m not sure I’d eat them after seeing what was on top of them.
• Hansel’s Honeymoon Hideaway: Shrek and Fiona really pulled a number on this place. Sort it out, and try not to let your imagination get too carried away while you do.

Every level can be played in co-op or solo, so you can clean and clean until you’re completely cleaned out. As with most levels in PowerWash Simulator, there are easter eggs and audio tidbits to unlock as you clean up each section of every level. This means it’s well worth cleaning everything to 100%, just in case you miss an iconic callback to any of these fabulous films.
