Nintendo recently surprised the gaming world by shadow-dropping a Nintendo Direct presentation dedicated to the Star Fox franchise. This unexpected announcement comes shortly after the character's appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
The centerpiece of the Direct was the reveal of a new Star Fox game for the Switch 2, which is a remake of the Nintendo 64 classic, Star Fox 64. The remake features an almost photorealistic art style and will bring back the beloved space, land, and underwater combat.
Beyond classic gameplay, the remake emphasizes characters and story with full-blown cutscenes. New content includes level challenges and an objective-based multiplayer mode for both Star Fox and Star Wolf teams, supporting online and local play. Innovative features like Switch 2's mouse controls for precision flight and dual-player control sharing are also included.
Star Fox is scheduled to be released on Switch 2 on June 25. The presentation concluded with a prologue featuring Fox's father, James McCloud, hinting at events preceding the main game.
