Star Fox officially returns after nearly a decade-long hiatus. Nintendo has announced a full remake of the cult classic Star Fox 64, which will be released exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on 25 June 2026. The production is set to be significantly larger than a typical remaster and will offer a completely refreshed visual style, new storyline scenes, and an online multiplayer mode.
Nintendo gives a strong refresh to the iconic Star Fox series
The new version of Star Fox has been described by Nintendo as a full “cinematic refresh” of the classic from Nintendo 64. Players will once again take on the role of Fox McCloud and his team in the battles for the Lylat system against Andross, but this time the story will include additional plot scenes and a new prologue focusing on James McCloud, the father of the main protagonist. The creators have also prepared an entirely new underwater mission, refreshed character models, full voice acting, and an orchestral soundtrack. However, the classic rail shooter gameplay will be preserved, where players control the Arwing during dynamic space battles.
Multiplayer online, cooperation and 60 FPS on Switch 2
The remake will offer three main gameplay modes. The story campaign will retain branching paths and several difficulty levels, there will also be a special Challenge Mode and an online Battle Mode for up to eight players. In multiplayer, Team Star Fox will face off against Team Star Wolf on dedicated PvP maps.
Nintendo has also prepared a cooperation mode where one person controls the ship as the pilot, while the other is responsible for shooting. The game is expected to support the new features of Joy-Con 2, including mouse-like controls. According to early analysis, Star Fox runs at 60 FPS and utilises a resolution of around 1440p after scaling.
Nintendo is bringing back one of its most iconic series after many years. The new Star Fox is set to combine classic gameplay with modern graphics, online multiplayer, and additional story elements specifically designed for the Switch 2.
