According to new reports from Video Games Chronicle and credible leaker Natethehate, a remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time will release in 2026. Additionally, a new Star Fox game will release in the “very near future.”
Natethehate states that the new Star Fox will be “classic style,” with great visuals and online multiplayer. Further, a new 3D Mario won’t release until 2027. Instead, we will get a full remake of Ocarina of Time to commemorate The Legend of Zelda franchise’s 40th anniversary. He also reveals that we may not get a general direct until June 2026, though we may get social media updates for Splatoon Raiders, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, and Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of both Pikmin 4 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
While the validity of these rumors haven’t been confirmed and may not be verified for several months, it would fall in line with Nintendo’s recent behavior. Over the past few months, it has revealed new details for major games such as Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book via shadow-dropped trailers and dedicated directs. Additionally, with the reveal of both Star Fox and Pikmin in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, as well as the upcoming release of The Legend of Zelda film, it would make sense that Nintendo will release new games to coincide with them. Only time will tell if these rumors turn out to be true.
Lastly, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will release in theaters on April 1. It will feature Glen Powell as Fox McCloud, Donald Glover as Yoshi, Brie Larson as Rosalina, and Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr.
