• Star Fox is a 2026 third-person rail shooter developed by Velan Studios and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2, serving as a remake of the classic Star Fox 64 (1997) and a fresh reboot of the series.
  • After months of leaks, the game was revealed in a surprise Nintendo Direct on May 7, 2026, and officially released on June 25, 2026, though its initial reveal drew mixed reactions due to its new art style and the decision to remake Star Fox 64 for a second time.
  • The gameplay preserves the iconic Arwing combat, adding branching pathways, a new Challenge Mode, and a competitive battle mode against Star Wolf, while also featuring a unique two-player co-op mode where one player uses the Joy-Con 2's mouse controls to aim and fire.
  • Developed using Velan's proprietary Viper engine, the game renders its cutscenes in real-time while maintaining a consistent 60 frames per second.
  • The remake received positive reviews for its gameplay, graphics, and faithfulness to the original, though critics noted a lack of significant innovation or additional content features.
