Shrek 2

Remake or remaster?

The title already answers it

The product name is DreamWorks Shrek 2 Remastered. The press release, Steam, and the official site all use that word. Searches for “Shrek 2 remake” are landing on the same game. This page is the correction.

A remaster, in the ordinary sense Wikipedia uses, mainly replaces picture and sound and may add small features. A remake rebuilds the work. Photo Mode, a Cheats menu, and enhanced cutscenes are additions. A new story is not one of them. The chapter list is still 11. Read what changed and what the game is.

Which word fits the 2026 release.
