Without warning, Nintendo aired a « Star Fox Direct » at midnight on Thursday. The rumors were true, as we got our first look at a title coming to the Switch 2.

This isn’t an entirely new game, as this Star Fox is a remake of Star Fox 64 (or Lylat Wars). The release is already scheduled for June 25, 2026. This Switch 2 version features more realistic graphics and will support mouse controls. Online multiplayer will also be included.

Additionally, the game’s avatars will be usable via GameChat. The camera will be able to capture the player’s head movements and facial expressions.

Star Fox is priced at €49.99 / $49.99 via the eShop and €59.99 / $59.99 for the physical copy.
