Platinum confirms Krystal will not appear in Star Fox Zero

While Star Fox Zero will be the return of several fan favorite characters, it’s been confirmed that one character won’t be returning in the Wii U game next year, and that’s Fox McCloud’s love interest Krystal.

News of this comes from Platinum Games’ Yusuke Hashimoto, who told a fan on Twitter that while Krystal won’t make an appearance in Zero, he’d love to have her featured in a potential sequel, should Platinum be involved.

@JordanSweeto She won’t show up this time, but I’d love to put her in a sequel if we’d get to make one!

Krystal made her debut as a playable character Star Fox Adventures on the GameCube, and appeared in sequels and spin-offs that followed.

Star Fox Zero is coming to Wii U on April 22nd. For more the game, check out our latest preview.
