Speculation is mounting regarding a potential announcement of a new Star Fox title for Nintendo's unconfirmed successor console, colloquially referred to as the Switch 2. Trusted industry leaker Nate the Hate has indicated an April reveal for the highly anticipated game. The initial reports emerged in late March, when Nate the Hate first suggested that both a new Star Fox game and a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time were slated for release on the next-generation Nintendo hardware within the year. The leaker has since elaborated on the timing of the Star Fox reveal.
In a recent interaction on X, Nate the Hate addressed questions concerning the game's potential announcement window, explicitly stating, "I said StarFox will be announced this month via Nintendo Today or Twitter." This comment points towards a direct social media or app-based reveal, sidestepping a more traditional Nintendo Direct presentation.
When pressed for clarification regarding the "this month" reference, given the original claim was made in March, Nate the Hate confirmed it referred to April. Should these rumors materialize, a new Star Fox entry would be a significant title for the rumored Switch 2, a console Nintendo has yet to officially unveil. The series, known for its distinctive on-rails shooter gameplay and memorable cast of characters, has a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting its return to prominence following its last major console installment, *Star Fox Zero*, on the Wii U in 2016.
