Nintendo has announced Star Fox for Nintendo Switch 2, launching June 25. Revealed during today’s Star Fox Direct, the new release is based on Star Fox 64 and brings Fox McCloud, Peppy Hare, Falco Lombardi, and Slippy Toad back for a modernized mission across the Lylat System.
The game features a complete visual overhaul, new character designs, revamped stages, new cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue, and an orchestral soundtrack.
A Modernized Star Fox 64 Adventure
The story once again follows the Star Fox team as they take on Andross, who is trying to seize control of the Lylat System. Players will pilot the Arwing across planets, asteroid fields, and space battles while using lasers, boosts, brakes, somersaults, and barrel rolls to survive.
Routes can change based on objectives, enemies, and player actions, giving players different missions and stages across multiple playthroughs.
New Modes and 4-vs-4 Battle Mode
Star Fox includes Campaign Mode, Challenge Mode, and a new Battle Mode. Campaign Mode lets players choose Easy or Normal difficulty before working toward Expert, while Challenge Mode adds new stage objectives after they have been cleared.
Battle Mode supports 4-vs-4 dogfights with up to eight players split between Team Star Fox and Team Star Wolf. Its stages include objectives on Corneria, Fichina, and Sector Y.
Switch 2 Features
The game supports Joy-Con 2 mouse controls in Campaign and Challenge Modes for more precise aiming. A second player can also join as a gunner through local play or GameShare via GameChat.
Star Fox also includes GameChat character avatars and AR filters, letting players appear as Fox and other crew members while chatting with friends.
Star Fox launches June 25 on Nintendo Switch 2.
