You wait all these years for news of a new DreamWorks game and then two come along in one day. Yes, as well as DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing, the Switch will be seeing another animated world re-enter the gaming sphere as publisher GameMill Entertainment has also announced DreamWorks Trolls Remix Rescue for the console.
Developed by Petit Fabrik, this one is based on the popular Trolls films and will see you embarking on an original adventure through those cinematic fantasy lands. You will be able to play as familiar faces like Poppy and Branch, or take the customisation into your own hands and build your unique troll character to stop a "melodic mastermind" who threatens the world's musical harmony.
Predictably, Remix Rescue will feature a good amount of music from the films and will also include a series of rhythm-based minigames to get those troll toes a-tapping. We don't have an official trailer for this one just yet, but you can check out the following information and screenshots for a closer look at what is in store.
Key Game Features
- Play as the Trolls: Choose from fan-favourite characters: Poppy, Branch, Guy Diamond and more, on a magical journey across the Trolls Kingdom.
- Customize a Troll: Players can create, customise, and play as their own Troll with a variety of hairstyles, facial features, outfits and more!
- Learn the Art of Hair-Jitsu: Players can use their Trolls’ hair to whip it at enemies, twirl it to rise up and hover like a helicopter, and use it to grab, carry, swing, throw, and smash objects along an exciting quest.
- Musical Mayhem: Compete to the beat in rhythm-based mini-games while solving fun and challenging environmental puzzles to unlock special new items and abilities.
- Share the Fun with Friends: Play solo or together with friends in local co-op for up to four players.
- Move to the Beat of the Trolls: The game soundtrack features music from DreamWorks Animation's Trolls film franchise, such as “Get Back Up Again”, “Hair Up”, and more!
Trolls Remix Rescue does not have a precise release date just yet, though those who are already excited can pre-order the base game for £39.99. A digital deluxe edition will be heading our way at a later date which promises to add some bonus content for those who want even more musical action.

There’s a particular user in this website that will buy this game day one.
Great news for Trolls fans on here
Very disappointed, was hoping that this game would have gameplay like God of War.
This is my favourite cartoon series.
Ah, shame. I was hoping this was a revival of the Amiga game. That was actually really good!
@Sunsy
Have you ever played the Trolls game on the Amiga? It's a really lovely 2d platformer. I adored it. I'm not sure how easy it is get access to it these days, though.
@Sunsy
Yo, there will be a new Trolls game on multi consoles by GameMill Entertainment.
We're big fans of the Trolls franchise in my house. Plus, my 6 year old is always inquiring about these types of games. So I'll keep an eye out for how this turns out
Hard pass. No thank you.
What a surprise! As the resident Trolls fan, I am so excited for this one. Ever since the mobile games ended, I've been wanting a normal Trolls video game!
So far, the screenshots look great, definitely a day one buy from me.
This news made my day!
@JONOFTHEJONS Yo!
@Anti-Matter @EaglyPurahfan Thanks for the tags. Yeah Anti, I was surprised by this one, I thought Outright Games had the DreamWorks license after that Spirit game, but looks like Gamemill got it now.
@Ooyah This is the first time I'm hearing about an Amiga Trolls game. I'm guessing this is based off the classic Trolls known as the Good Luck Trolls (fun fact: DreamWorks actually owns them too, this Trolls series is based off of it).
Never had an Amiga, and I learned a bit about the system thanks to some UK gaming YouTubers that cover classic games (Team 17 comes to mind, I have Super Frog on GOG). I'm glad to hear it was a really good game according to you.
@Sunsy I also immediately thought of you as soon as I saw this, glad you and other Trolls fan are getting a new game, fingers crossed it will be good!
@JohnnyMind Thanks for thinking of me. Hopefully it will be, I have confidence given I've enjoyed the last few licensed games I've played, Smurfs: Mission Vileaf and My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure.
As long as it's fun and stays true to source material, I'm happy. I can see they nailed the Trolls series style from the screenshots.
I'm just happy to finally look forward to an actual game, and not a mobile one. No really, I played Trolls Pop for six months and then it was gone.
@Sunsy Totally get you, that's unfortunately how it goes for mobile games (one of the reasons why I'm so glad the Booster Course Pass for 8 Deluxe is a thing, the less stuff left behind in Tour before that shuts down the better)... so glad for you and in general that this is a console one!
@JohnnyMind Sadly it is, I am very happy this is happening. Thanks for reminding, I still need to play the new Mario Kart 8 tracks. That's another good thing, I haven't played Mario Kart Tour, so I've gotten to race on some of these tracks because of the course pass.
I see Outright Games being mentioned in the comments here. My experience of Outright Games' games is not great.
Do GameMill have a good reputation? If this plays like an OG title I'll be giving it a wide berth. I really hope it's good. 🤞
