The Nintendo Switch 2 is rumored to be getting a brand-new Star Fox game in 2026, and one insider believes that it will have a heavy narrative focus. Star Fox has never been a series that emphasized writing or narrative, with the controversial Star Fox Adventures being the most robust entry in the series from a narrative perspective. However, if this new leaked detail about the rumored 2026 entry is true, fans could see their favorite Star Fox characters in a completely different light.
Fans of Nintendo's classic on-rails shooter series have been waiting quite a while for a new entry. The last mainline Star Fox game, Star Fox Zero, was released on the Wii U back in 2016. Additionally, the franchise saw the unreleased 1995 SNES sequel Star Fox 2 released in 2017 as part of the Super NES Classic Edition, meaning the most recent Star Fox content was originally developed over 30 years ago.
Star Fox 2 is also playable on the Switch via a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
A reliable leaker reveals Nintendo's plans for the Switch 2 this year, which apparently include an Ocarina of Time remake and Star Fox.
