- Nintendo has revealed a new one Star Fox game based on Star Fox 64
- It will launch on June 25, 2026 and will be a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive
- It offers brand new visuals and a PvP multiplayer mode
Nintendo has revealed a new one Star Fox games for the Nintendo Switch 2, and yes, that’s another one Star Fox 64 replay.
As confirmed in a surprise Nintendo Direct stream last night, the new game will simply be the title Star Fox and features improved graphics that have been rebuilt from the ground up, in addition to new character designs. Despite the fresh look, the stage layout will be the same as the original game.
In addition to the story campaign, Star Fox will offer a challenge mode that introduces new objectives and challenges for players to tackle. There will also be a brand new battle mode where two teams of four players face off online.
As a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive, it should come as no surprise that it supports many of the console’s exclusive features. This includes GameShare support and the ability to talk to other players in battle mode via GameChat. The latter even allows you to act as protagonist Fox McCloud or his crew via a unique interactive avatar system that sees an in-game model match your expressions and movements.
In the campaign, you will also be able to take full advantage of the Joy-Con 2 mouse controls for improved aiming.
Star Fox launches on June 25, 2026. This is the third time Nintendo has gone back to Star Fox 64 (or Lylat Wars as it was known in the UK), which was originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 1997.
A Nintendo 3DS remake called Star Fox 54 3D came out in 2011, while the Wii U game Star Fox Zero was an expansive retelling of the same story.
The original Nintendo 64 incarnation is also available through the Nintendo Classics service for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
