The Star Fox-inspired Wild Blue has a new name and gameplay trailer. Now re-christened as Wild Blue Skies, the upcoming retro throwback has over four minutes of new gameplay footage.
Wild Blue Skies was first revealed in March, and this homage to Star Fox has some authentic expertise behind it; Giles Goddard, a former Nintendo programmer who worked on the original Star Fox, leads the development team at the Kyoto-based Chuhai Labs. The gameplay trailer, revealed by IGN, shows off an unedited dogfighting sequence through the ancient ruins of a stormy planet.
Wild Blue Skies centers on ace pilot Bowie Stray and his team taking on the forces of the evil Grimclaw. The flight combat, along with the comms chatter of your dorky anthromorphic animal comrades, certainly captures the spirit of Nintendo’s oft-neglected rail shooter.
Wild Blue Skies is currently confirmed for PC only, but it does not have a release window.
