PowerWash Simulator is Adding Shrek's Swamp

Key Takeaways

  • PowerWash Simulator’s newly announced Shrek DLC adds iconic locations from the movie series.
  • FuturLab’s indie game has collaborated with properties like Back to the Future and Warhammer 40,000.
  • New DLC will include five maps inspired by DreamWorks’ Shrek movies, including Shrek’s Swamp.

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the latest announcement for PowerWash Simulator’s Shrek DLC has me absolutely smitten! With its roots tracing back to a children’s picture book, I never thought I’d find myself power washing in Shrek’s swamp one day. It’s like going from slaying dragons as Link to cleaning up after an ogre feast – talk about diverse gaming experiences!

A new paid expansion for PowerWash Simulator is coming soon, featuring locations from the Shrek films. This includes the famous swamp home of the ogre himself. PowerWash Simulator has a history of working with popular franchises, having previously teamed up with properties such as Back to the Future, Warhammer 40,000, and most recently, Alice in Wonderland. This collaboration is made possible by FuturLab’s use of Unity engine in their indie game title.

Launched in July 2022, “PowerWash Simulator” is a first-person simulation game where players can live out their aspirations of owning a small power washing business, as suggested by its title. Published by Square Enix’s independent games division, this game has seen regular themed expansions since its debut, including the “Final Fantasy 7” DLC that was released in March of last year. Recently, developers at FuturLabs have announced a new crossover pack for their distinctive simulator, which will transport gamers to a cherished fairy-tale realm.

During Nintendo’s August 27 Direct broadcast, a special package for PowerWash Simulator titled “Shrek Edition” was revealed. Alongside other games like the new SpongeBob SquarePants title featuring Patrick Star, this expansion pack was showcased. The Shrek Special Pack will introduce five levels based on DreamWorks Animation’s beloved movie franchise, such as Shrek’s Swamp, into PowerWash Simulator. As per the official tweets from the game’s account, it will also offer new achievements.

PowerWash Simulator Gets New Shrek DLC

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but share my excitement about the beloved Shrek franchise, which originated from the enchanting children’s book by American cartoonist William Steig. This fantastical series, especially the blockbuster sequel, Shrek 2 (released in 2004), is a testament to DreamWorks Animation’s creative prowess. In fact, it ranks among the highest-grossing films ever made, raking in an astonishing $928 million at box offices globally!

The Shrek Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator wasn’t given a specific release date during the recent Nintendo Direct, but based on the trailer’s hint, we can expect it to arrive “soon in a not-too-distant, fairy tale future.” Pricing details weren’t disclosed, but considering previous collaborations like Alice in Wonderland, Back to the Future, and Warhammer 40,000 cost $7.99 each, we might anticipate a similar price for the Shrek Pack. Previously, FuturLabs has offered free expansion packs to players, such as the Tomb Raider DLC for PowerWash Simulator, so there’s a possibility that the Shrek Special Pack could be free as well.

In August, two free expansions for the game PowerWash Simulator were unveiled: “Muckingham Files – Part 4” and “Cruise Ship Sun Deck – Summer 2024.” The first expansion included two new tasks, while the latter, belonging to FuturLab’s Seasonal Specials series of complimentary updates, offered two fresh maps, along with a summer-inspired outfit for the worker, gloves, and power washer design. At present, PowerWash Simulator boasts an Overwhelmingly Positive overall rating on Steam, having amassed more than 40,700 player reviews.
