Nintendo announces a new Star Fox title for its Switch 2 console, a remake of Star Fox 64. Multiple outlets report the game was revealed during a Nintendo Direct and that development is led by Nintendo personnel including Shigeru Miyamoto. The remake is presented as a major update to the 1997 Nintendo 64 original, described as a classic 3D rail shooter that receives a visual overhaul designed to match Switch 2. One report states the announcement happens in a May 7, 2026 Nintendo Direct and that the game’s release date is June 25, 2026, with pre-orders available. Another outlet describes the project as returning Star Fox “this summer,” aligning with a mid-to-late June timeframe. Coverage also references prior cross-media signals about the character’s return, including a Fox McCloud cameo tied to recent publicity around Super Mario-related media. Across sources, the core agreement is that Star Fox 64 is being remade for Switch 2 and that Nintendo has already confirmed a 2026 launch window and pre-order availability.
