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!
