Nintendo has unveiled “Star Fox,” its new Star Fox game for the Switch 2 which has set a June 25th release.
In a surprise Nintendo Direct streamed today, creator Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo producer Yoshiaki Koizumi introduced the new game.
The project is reportedly a remake of “Star Fox 64” for the Nintendo 64. While stage layouts have been kept the same, but the visuals have been completely updated with the characters also overhauled.
There’s “freshly revamped looks for each stage, plus detailed cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue, and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack.”
The Switch 2 version also introduces a prologue mission featuring Fox’s father, new cinematic cutscenes, a Challenge Mode, and a suite of multiplayer scenarios including online play.
In campaign mode, travel to a wide variety of planets, navigate through asteroid fields and engage in free-flying dogfights. Taking different routes can also affect the stages you encounter on your path through the system.
In challenge mode you can replay stages you’ve cleared and take on a variety of new objectives and challenges, some of which you won’t find in Campaign Mode.
In battle mode: Gather up your crew to compete in all-new 4-vs-4 dogfights, with up to eight players divided between Team Star Fox and Team Star Wolf.
The game also has mouse controls with the Switch 2 Joy-Con, and a co-op mode that lets a second player control a gunner. The title marks the first “Star Fox” game in over a decade.
