If you are an avid Star Fox fan, you'll know that the franchise has been sleeping for almost 8 years. Star Fox's recent game was released in 2017, and it wasn't even a new mainline game. It was Star Fox 2, originally completed in 1995 only to be released in 2017.
While it is the only Star Fox game in recent years, many fans cling to hope that a new Star Fox game will see the light of day as soon as it releases on the new Nintendo Switch 2.
Fortunately, 2025 seems to be a brighter year for many Star Fox fans. According to rumors and leaks circulating online, the game Star Fox Adventures is set to receive a new remake this year. Whether it will be released on the Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch is still unknown.
The leak came from @SamusHunter2 on X, but many fans are doubtful of what the leaker is saying.

While it is advisable to take things with a grain of salt, these speculations line up with the Star Fox rumors from the previous years. From Nintendo filing an international Star Fox trademark to references to Star Fox found in the Switch Sports game code, there has been solid evidence that Nintendo might be preparing something for the beloved elite pilot, Fox McCloud.
Originally released on Gamecube, Star Fox Adventures is an action-adventure game similar to the classic 3D Zelda games.
If Star Fox Adventures is truly receiving a remake and considering that it was similar to older titles, there's a possibility that the remake will have similarities to the recent Zelda games such as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Fans on Reddit feel that Star Fox: Assault is another game that could possibly work well with the Switch, now that playing online is much easier. Star Fox: Assault focuses more on highlighting Fox's aircraft, the Arwing. It would also make sense that the new Star Fox game will pay homage to the original game.
Regardless of whether the new Star Fox game will arrive on the original Switch or the Nintendo Switch 2, be sure to stay updated with the latest gaming news and stories by following Gfinity Esports.
