A new rumor has surfaced suggesting that Star Fox Adventures, the 2002 GameCube game from the Star Fox series, might be getting a remake. Despite the lack of new Star Fox games since Star Fox 2 in 2017, fans have been hoping for the return of Fox McCloud and his crew. While there have been hints at a potential Star Fox game for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, nothing official has been confirmed yet. This new rumor points to a remake of Star Fox Adventures, a title that was a departure from the series' usual space combat gameplay.
Originally developed by Rare, Star Fox Adventures started as a standalone game titled Dinosaur Planet before being integrated into the Star Fox franchise. The game featured more of a third-person adventure style, similar to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and introduced the character Krystal, who became a fan favorite. This departure from the franchise's traditional gameplay divided opinions, but it remains an important chapter in the Star Fox series.
The leak, shared by a gaming news source named SamusHunter2, suggests that the alleged remake will not just be a simple remaster but will improve upon the original's structure, potentially offering a fresh take on the game. While this rumor remains unverified and the source has had incorrect predictions in the past, their past successes have fueled speculation. Fans are particularly excited about the possibility of the remake introducing features like the cut protagonist Sabre or making Krystal the main character, as was initially planned. If true, the remake could launch in 2025, coinciding with the release of the Nintendo Switch 2.
