Published by GameMill, the upcoming title is heading to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC “soon.” The game will feature 20 of the most iconic DreamWorks Animation characters, including Shrek, Po, Tigress, Boss Baby, Puss in Boots, Hiccup, Astrid, and more.

Each character has a uniquely-styled kart, and players will be able to customize these karts with hundreds of customizable parts and accessory combinations. Other features in the racer include the power of magic paths, where players can hit magical switches on the track to uncover hidden shortcuts. Players can also collect Trolls to ride along with them throughout each race for special surprises. Game modes include Free Race, Cups, Challenge, and Time Trial. DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing will support eight-person online and four-player local split-screen multiplayer.
The game is going to be priced $39.99 at release, although a Digital Deluxe Edition will be available at a later date for $49.99. That version includes the full base game plus two exclusive characters and their karts: Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda and Wolf from Puss in Boots.
