A new Star Fox game for the Switch 2 is likely to be announced surprisingly soon. Recent reports suggested the game was in development and planned for a summer release, leading many to believe Nintendo would reveal it during their usual June Nintendo Direct presentation. However, new information indicates the game will actually be unveiled before then.
Nate the Hate, a reliable source of Nintendo news, says the next Star Fox game will be revealed sometime in April. He believes the announcement will come through Nintendo’s social media channels or the Nintendo Today app. Although a specific date wasn’t given, this suggests we’ll get a look at the new game soon.
This Nintendo Reveal Would Perfectly Continue Star Fox’s Momentum
It’s a little unexpected that Nintendo announced the new Star Fox game so quietly, but it’s actually a smart move. With Fox McCloud recently appearing in Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo is probably hoping to take advantage of his increased popularity. Releasing details about the Star Fox game for Switch in April lets them build on the excitement from the movie and could encourage people who haven’t bought the console yet to do so soon.
Since this Star Fox game is expected to come out this summer, Nintendo should start promoting it quickly. A good part of that promotion will likely involve showing off gameplay during their next Nintendo Direct presentation. However, announcing the game beforehand will build excitement and make the Direct even more impactful.
Besides the rumored new Star Fox game, Nintendo has a lot of exciting titles planned for the Switch 2 for the rest of the year. Games like Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and Splatoon Raiders are already confirmed to be released this year, and even more new games could be announced soon.
