Raptor Claw is bringing its arcade-flavoured space shooter back to Switch with FUR Squadron Phoenix, due on the eShop on 25 February. The follow-up keeps the series’ focus on fast, on-rails aerial combat and a crew of anthropomorphic pilots battling a galaxy-wide menace.

  • Release details: FUR Squadron Phoenix will arrive on the Nintendo Switch eShop on 25 February, continuing the franchise that first appeared in 2023.
  • Developer and lineage: Created by Raptor Claw, the new entry builds on the studio’s original FUR Squadron and leans into classic console-era shooter design.
  • Gameplay vibe: Expect straight-line, cinema-style dogfights with emphasis on quick reflexes, tight ship handling and a colourful roster of furry pilots.
  • Setting and story beats: The game pitches the squad against an encroaching evil threatening a planetary system, delivering a simple but urgent narrative backdrop for action-packed missions.

FUR Squadron Phoenix appears aimed at players who enjoy nostalgic, arcade-inspired shooters with personality — especially those who liked the tone and tempo of 90s-era space combat games. With its release date set, Switch owners wanting a brisk, character-driven romp through the stars will have a new option next month.
