The announcement of the Star Fox content came as a surprise during Ubisoft’s presentation, especially seeing how Nintendo’s conference is still yet to be seen. It’s a welcome release though with those who remember old and recent Star Fox games recently able to play as the space-faring pilot once again in a totally new experience. The Star Fox will be an exclusive release for Nintendo Switch players when it becomes available on October 16.
“Lead a group of interstellar pilots as you build your own starship, explore the Atlas Star System, and battle the vile Grax and his Forgotten Legion,” the description of the new Star Fox trailer read. Featuring special guest pilot Fox McCloud and his Arwing. Battle in exclusive Add-on Star Wolf missions! Available October 16.”
We know that the content will at least include Fox McCloud himself and his signature Arwing, but it’s unclear how many of the original crew will be available in the bonus content that’s coming to the Nintendo Switch.
Star Link: Battle for Atlas will launch on October 16th with Star Fox as an exclusive FREE experience for the Nintendo Switch.
