Nintendo has revealed a new Star Fox game is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2! It’s a remake of the classic Star Fox 64, and it’s the first new installment in the series in over ten years – confirming what many fans had suspected was in the works.
Yesterday, Nintendo held a special Direct presentation to announce a complete remake of the classic game Star Fox 64. Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, the original creator of Star Fox, and producer Yoshiaki Koizumi revealed the updated game will feature dramatically improved graphics, redesigned characters, updated cutscenes, fully spoken dialogue, and a brand new orchestral soundtrack.
Nintendo announced that the new Star Fox project is a visually stunning remake of Star Fox 64. It will feature updated character designs, redesigned levels, full voice acting, detailed cutscenes, and an epic orchestral score.
The upcoming Star Fox remake will offer players brand new content not found in the original game. This includes a prologue mission starring Fox’s father, expanded cutscenes highlighting the Star Fox team, a dedicated Challenge mode, and a variety of multiplayer options, including online play.
Nintendo broke down each mode that will be available in the remake:
- Campaign Mode: Travel to a wide variety of planets, navigate through asteroid fields and engage in free-flying dogfights. Choose between Easy or Normal difficulty at the start and hone your skills to earn all the medals needed to unlock the Expert setting. The objectives you complete, foes you defeat and other actions you take can alter your route and what you do in each stage. Taking different routes can also affect the stages you encounter on your path through the system, so there’s always a reason to revisit each mission.
- Challenge Mode: 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. Challenges are available in either Normal or Expert difficulty settings.
- 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. This mode features three stages with different objectives: secure control of a designated zone on Corneria, collect energy crystals on Fichina, or retrieve cargo from space pirates in Sector Y. Join team battles online via private matches, or match with players from near and far. With GameShare3, up to four players can take to the skies locally or online through GameChat. While GameShare online is only available for Nintendo Switch 2 systems, local GameShare allows sharing of compatible games with both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch systems.
The upcoming Star Fox remake will offer multiple control options: you can play with the Switch 2 Joy-Cons, a mouse, or even the Nintendo 64 controller through the Switch Online service.
The updated version of Star Fox will be available on June 25, 2026, and will only be playable on the Nintendo Switch 2. You can see the announcement and more details in the video below.
