Falco Lombardi

Video Game: Star Fox (2026)

Out in the cold reaches of the Lylat System, no pilot cuts a sharper silhouette than Falco Lombardi, the blue-feathered ace whose sarcasm flies almost as fast as his Arwing. In Star Fox (2026), Velan Studios' cinematic overhaul of the classic Nintendo 64 adventure, Falco returns as Team Star Fox's second-in-command, threading through dogfights and enemy fortresses while making sure Fox McCloud knows exactly how much he owes him.

Falco Lombardi’s Role and Personality in Star Fox (2026)

A former gang leader who traded street-level recklessness for the stars, Falco carries that rebellious edge into every sortie. He bristles at authority, routinely ignores the G-Diffuser system check during pre-mission prep, and treats protocol as a loose suggestion, a personality beat the 2026 remake deliberately leans into with expanded dialogue that wasn’t present in the original release. His rivalry with Fox is the kind built on genuine respect buried under layers of competitive swagger; they bicker like veterans who’ve pulled each other out of too many scrapes to keep score. Cool under fire and sharper than his wingmates give him credit for, Falco instinctively scouts alternate routes through enemy territory, treating each battle like a hunting exercise with the odds stacked in his favor. The redesigned 2026 character art gives him talons and a more naturalistic avian silhouette, a visual nod to his fierce, predatory instincts that divides fans but sharpens the character’s edge considerably.

Who Voices Falco Lombardi in Star Fox (2026)?

Andrew Russel steps into the cockpit as the new English voice of Falco in Star Fox (2026), bringing a track record that spans Pokemon Masters EX, where he gave voice to the calculating Giovanni, and Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. His casting marks a generational handover from longtime voice holder Mark Lund, who defined Falco’s drawling bravado across Star Fox 64 3D and Star Fox Zero.
