The long overdue spiritual successor to the Star Fox series, which Nintendo seems to have abandoned for the time being, has been re-revealed with a fresh gameplay trailer.
Wild Blue was revealed just this past March, and it definitely seems like there's plenty of potential here. Chiefly, developer Chuhai Labs was founded by Giles Goddard, one of the original programmers on the original Star Fox for Super Nintendo. It's unclear why, just eight months later, the game needed a re-reveal, but Chuhai Labs and developer Humble Games have done exactly that with a new trailer and the addition of the word 'skies' to the title.
Chuhai says there are "numerous" biomes in Wild Blue Skies including "oceans, desert ridges, and perilous caves," and what you're seeing in the above video is the "perilous" Hurricane level, which definitely seems apt as the player character dukes it out with waves of enemies in the eye of a massive hurricane. To be frank, I'm genuinely quite a bit more excited about this than I was after seeing previous trailers, which have included shorter snippets of gameplay that weren't nearly as inspiring as this new footage.
There's still no release date for Wild Blue Skies, but without so much as a rumor suggesting anything official is happening in Star Fox world, it's hard to complain.
There's a good reason the original Star Fox is included in our comprehensive guide to the best SNES games of all time.
