Starlink Battle for Atlas: How to Play as Star Fox

Here’s everything you need to know about how to play as Star Fox in Starlink Battle for Atlas.

Starlink Battle for Atlas has officially arrived on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Ubisoft’s newest action adventure game introduces a crew of new pilots, known as Starlink, who arrive at the Atlas Star System in search of precious resources.

But while Starlink Battle for Atlas does feature plenty of interesting new characters to choose from, one question is on a lot of fans mind: How do I play as Star Fox?

The first prerequisite you’ll have to meet in order to play as Star Fox is to own a Nintendo Switch.

Unfortunately, the group is only playable on the Nintendo Switch version of the game, which also features a unique storyline in which Fox McCloud and company hunt down their arch nemesis, Wolf.

Once you boot up the main story on the Switch, it only takes about five minutes for that iconic Nintendo Fox to be introduced to the game.

The team is a part of the opening cinematic, as they lend a hand to Starlink and Shaid, who are being attacked by enemy Drake ships.

Playing as Fox McCloud in Starlink Battle for Atlas

The only character you will play as from the group is Fox McCloud, who brings his trusty Arwing along with him.

Peppy, Falco, and Slippy are still in the game, but they only show up when using McCloud’s special Rock n’ Roll ability.

Alongside individually showing up, then, though, they all do join in on all of the cutscenes and dialogue that features their lifelong bestie and leader of Star Fox within the game.

That is how to play as Star Fox in Starlink Battle for Atlas. For more help, as well as other useful guides, be sure to search for Twinfinite. Here’s a small taste of other tips we can give on this game:
