Of the multitude of unusual characters that are playable in FIFA Heroes, there are some new additions that are absolutely my favorites. Dreamworks Animation’s Shrek enters the fray as part of the new season pass, and I cannot stop giggling.
There’s something pretty wonderful about watching the giant green ogre play a cross in to Messi, who passes it to Puss in Boots to finish. Sadly, the Shrek characters, consisting of Shrek, Fiona, Puss in Boots, Gingy, Pinocchio, and Lord Farquaad will only be playable until August 10.
It comes shortly after the release of FIFA Heroes on June 24, and coincides with the 25th anniversary of the first Shrek film. The franchise is still going, as Shrek 5 is set for release in June 2027.
I’m just disappointed I can’t play as Donkey. Twice the legs must mean some sort of advantage, right?
