Nintendo surprised fans with a sudden Star Fox Direct on May 6, revealing a remake of the 1997 Nintendo 64 classic for the Switch 2. The game arrives on June 25, 2026, with updated visuals, new cutscenes, and modern features.
The 15-minute presentation focused entirely on the return of Fox McCloud and his team. It follows the pilot's cameo appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie last month, where he was voiced by Glen Powell. The new title keeps the core on-rails shooter structure of Star Fox 64 but adds a photorealistic art style and expanded story elements through pre-mission briefings.
