Summary
A new rumor suggests thatStar Fox Adventures, the underrated 2002 Nintendo GameCube installment of the long-dormantStar Foxfranchise, could be getting a remake. There hasn’t been a newStar Foxgame since the release ofStar Fox 2back in 2017, and fans have been eager for news of Fox McCloud and his crew of anthropomorphic space explorers making a comeback. There have even been rumors of a newStar Foxgame being developed for the soon-to-be-revealed Nintendo Switch 2, but nothing official has been confirmed.
This rumored mystery project could be tied to a pastStar Foxgame, namely 2002’sStar Fox Adventures. Developed by Rare,Adventureswas initially meant to be astandalone game titledDinosaur Planetbefore being retooled into aStar Foxsequel. As such, it featured different gameplay from the rest of theStar Foxseries, trading the franchise’s usual space-shooting for a third-person adventure feel that broughtThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Timeto mind. Still,Star Fox Adventuresleft its impact on the series by introducing the fan-favorite character Krystal.
Recently, a notable gaming news leaker by the handle of SamusHunter2claimed to have wordof an upcoming Nintendo project, one that they would later verify is supposed to be a remake ofStar Fox Adventures. As chronicled on theGamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, this alleged remake was initially thought to be a simple remaster ofthe 2002 GameCube original, before SamusHunter2 followed up with a tease that it would instead be a new game that improved on the old game’s structure.
Star Fox Adventures Could Be Getting A Remake
All of this should be taken with a grain of salt for the time being, as SamusHunter2 has had incorrect leads in the past. However, they have also correctly predicted things likeXenoblade Chronicles Xcoming to the Nintendo Switchin March, and there have been rumors from other sources that a newStar Foxproject is on the horizon. Such a project was suggested at the beginning of last year, though this rumor claimed that it would be an entirely new game rather than a remake of a past entry likeStar Fox Adventures.
This latest rumor claims that the supposedStar Fox Adventuresremake could come at some point in 2025, perhaps for theupcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console. While it is all unverified claims for now, this rumor has already ignited speculation from fans of the originalStar Fox Adventuresabout how the remake could introduce the cutDinosaur Planetprotagonist Sabre or have Krystal become the main character as she was originally meant to be. In any case, most would agree thatStar Foxis due for a comeback, and the Switch 2 might be the perfect venue for it.
