E3 2018 - Star Fox joins the cast of Starlink: Battle For Atlas exclusively on Nintendo Switch

Another Switch game to grace Ubisoft's E3 conference is Starlink: Battle For Atlas. Of course, we knew that already. The BIG surprise is the appearance of the dastardly Star Fox, and his crew.

Explore the Atlas Star System, lead your team of interstellar pilots, and take on Grax and his deadly legion before he destroys everything. Fly through a variety of exotic worlds, but while you enjoy the sights and sounds keep an eye out for any hostile beasties ready to ruin your day

As shown in the trailer, you can build up your very own starship model and attach it to your controller before diving into intense combat. Watch your ship change in real time as you add and take parts away. Mix and match pilots, wings, weapons, and more to create your very own play style.

Plus, during the show there was some more slightly awkward bromance-y love between Shigeru Miyamoto and Yves Guillemot, so my heart is happy.

Starlink: Battle For Atlas launches on consoles on October 16th 2018. Star Fox is a Switch-exclusive character with extra add-on content just for the portable system.
