Lil Red hasn’t been cut from Shrek 2 Remastered as so many fans theorised, but it’s quickly become clear why she was completely left out of the marketing.

Even though we’re just a little over a week away from the launch of the biggest video game of all time, there are a few titles out there that somehow aren’t scared of GTA 6. One such brave hero is Shrek 2 Remastered, a surprise revival of the 2004 tie-in game that was a staple of many childhoods, unsurprisingly including mine considering my love of IP slop.

As I reported last month, one of the big topics of conversation surrounding the Shrek 2 remaster is whether or not Lil’ Red had been cut from the game, since she was completely absent from trailers, screenshots, and even the achievement list. Now that the game is out, though, we know she hasn’t been cut at all, and was likely just hidden as a courtesy to our eyes.

Shrek 2 Remastered launched yesterday, which meant that Lil’ Red theorists were able to very quickly see that she’s alive and ‘well’ in the remaster. She’s featured in all of the same levels as in the original game, has the same abilities and voice lines, and is overall just as important as ever, making all the worrying seem a little silly in retrospect.

That being said, Shrek 2’s release might have given us a very simple answer as to why Red Riding Hood wasn’t included in the marketing at all - she’s absolutely terrifying to look at.
