Star Fox: Grand Prix Reportedly Retro’s Next Game

Following a nearly 5 year gap since their last original project, Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (which just relaunched on Switch to rave reception), Retro Studios might be gearing up to reveal another series revival with Star Fox Grand Prix, a game which allegedly combines racing and shooting.

Both Eurogamer and IGN have now lended their thumbs up to the leak, with IGN saying that the game will see an adventure mode styled after Diddy Kong Racing, with a hub and bosses. Players would earn speed boosts through shooting down enemy ships. 

Kotaku also chimed in briefly, mostly to add details that another project that was percolating at Retro has likely been canned following a rather rocky development cycle. What are your thoughts on the matter? Has it taken Retro this long to come up with a Star Fox racing game? And will we see this at E3? Hard to say, but keep it locked to Gamingbolt as we find out.
