Shrek, Fiona, and Puss in Boots are joining the brawl, and Donkey is coming along as a Companion! They’re also bringing a bunch of fairy tale creatures along as Emojis and a KO Effect, plus they’ll have home field advantage on two new Shrek’s Swamp Maps.
Also, there are new Guild Emoji Skins to grab, a major update to the Account Linking UI, and a slew of bug fixes including a fix to the Sandbagger achievement. That should be properly earnable now!

Whether swamp dwellers, princesses, or legendary warriors, these three fairy tale creatures have traveled from Far Far Away and are ready to brawl in the Grand Tournament!
