Star Fox Launches Exclusively On Nintendo Switch 2 This Week

Maniacal scientist Andross seeks control of the Lylat star system, and only Fox McCloud and the Star Fox team stand in his way. Pilot your Arwing and travel the system battling opposing forces and performing thrilling aerial manoeuvres, like barrel rolls and somersaults, to shake off enemies. Find alternative routes through the Lylat System during multiple playthroughs, taking on new missions and varied challenges. Plus, team up with friends in the new 4-vs-4 multiplayer Battle Mode.

Star Fox is a cinematic take on Lylat Wars and features a complete visual overhaul that takes full advantage of the power and performance of Nintendo Switch 2. There are also all-new cinematic cutscenes featuring fully voiced dialogue and never-before-seen mission briefings between stages, where you can learn even more about the characters and worlds that make up the Star Fox universe.

Star Fox features a variety of different modes, including Campaign Mode, where the objectives you complete, foes you defeat and other actions you take can alter your route and what you do in each stage. In Challenge Mode, players can replay stages they’ve cleared and take on a variety of new objectives and challenges, some of which they won’t find in Campaign Mode. Additionally, Battle Mode allows players to gather up their crew and 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 includes Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and a brand-new GameChat feature that puts you in the cockpit as your favourite characters from the Star Fox universe. Appear as Fox McCloud or any of his crew while chatting with friends using an interactive avatar that mirrors your expressions and movements in GameChat.
