Fox McCloud recently showcased his skills in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and now he’s coming back for more! In a surprise Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo announced the action-packed adventure Star Fox. This cinematic take on Star Fox 64 features new gameplay modes and a complete visual overhaul. The game will launch for Switch 2 in late June.

Here is a description of the game, via Nintendo:

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 maneuvers, 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 includes three Game Modes: Campaign, Challenge, and Battle.

In Campaign Mode, you can choose Easy or Normal difficulty at the start, while the Expert difficulty can be unlocked by earning medals. Travel between planets, navigate through asteroid fields, and engage in free-flying dogfights. Your route can be altered based on the completed objectives, defeated foes, and other actions taken.

In Challenge Mode, replay stages to take on new objectives and challenges; some of these aren’t even found in Campaign Mode. The mode can be played on Normal or Expert difficulty.

In Battle Mode, you compete in new 4-vs-4 dogfights, with up to 8 players total divided between two teams. There are three stages with different objectives. In Corneria, secure control of a designated zone. In Finchina, collect energy crystals. Finally, in Sector Y, receive cargo from space pirates.

Star Fox features newly overhauled character designs, freshly revamped looks for each stage, detailed cutscenes, fully voiced dialogue, and a sweeping orchestral soundtrack. It is compatible with Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and GameChat. The mouse controls function in Campaign Mode and Challenge Mode; these controls allow for more intuitive aiming.

Developed and published by Nintendo, Star Fox will be released for Switch 2 on June 25.
