Nine years after the events of ''Star Fox 64'', Wolf reappeared in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}''. During these intervening years, Wolf assumed control over the {{s|lylatwiki|Sargasso Space Zone}}, an illegal hub for criminals and former members of the Venomian Army, and recruited [[Panther Caroso]] to replace Andrew and Pigma. When Star Fox went looking for Pigma (who stole a {{s|lylatwiki|Core Memory}} earlier in the game), Star Wolf proceeded to face Star Fox in a dogfight over what Wolf presumed to be an invasion of his territory. | Nine years after the events of ''Star Fox 64'', Wolf reappeared in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}''.

Upon being defeated, Wolf called off their dogfight, but would later arrive on Corneria alongside Leon and Panther in order to save [[Fox McCloud]] from the rising threat of the Aparoids. Although Wolf said the only reason for doing this was so he could defeat Fox himself, Wolf's advice and grudging respect toward Fox nevertheless signaled his transition into an honorable, albeit still unlawful, anti-hero. | Upon being defeated, Wolf called off their dogfight, but would later arrive on Corneria alongside Leon and Panther in order to save [[Fox McCloud]] from the rising threat of the Aparoids. Although Wolf said the only reason for doing this was so he could defeat Fox himself, Wolf's advice and grudging respect toward Fox nevertheless signaled his transition into an honorable, albeit still unlawful, anti-hero. Following this incident, Star Wolf provided backup to Star Fox at the {{s|lylatwiki|Beltino Orbital Gate}} and the {{s|lylatwiki|Aparoid Homeworld}}. After Star Fox successfully destroyed the Homeworld, Star Wolf was nowhere to be found. During [[Krystal]]'s acknowledgement of their sacrifice as being among the many lives lost during the conflict, Fox speculated that Wolf, Leon and Panther were still alive. | ||
In ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Command}}'', Fox's assumption of Star Wolf's survival was proven correct. Following the destruction of the Aparoids, Star Wolf resumed their status as illicit mercenaries. As a result, the Cornerian Military placed a bounty for each member, with Wolf having the highest bounty set at $30,000. To avoid attention, Star Wolf set up a base on {{s|lylatwiki|Fichina}} before seeking to simultaneously remove their bounties and improve their reputations. Soon after, Wolf recruited Krystal into Star Wolf following her expulsion from Star Fox over Fox's fear of her dying while on the team like his father [[lylatwiki:James McCloud|James]]. | In ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Command}}'', Fox's assumption of Star Wolf's survival was proven correct.

Like {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Falco}}, Wolf's design has been updated to reflect his appearance in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}''.<ref name=UltimateE3>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - E3 2018 - Nintendo Switch]</ref> In Wolf's case, he has a longer snout and a normal eyepatch, while his visible eye is slightly larger and has a red iris. Unlike Fox and Falco, however, Wolf's attire is entirely original to ''Ultimate'' in spite of ''Starlink: Battle for Atlas'' being released almost a whole month before ''Ultimate'' and fully depicting him in attire based on his appearance in ''Star Fox Zero''. | Like {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Falco}}, Wolf's design has been updated to reflect his appearance in ''{{s|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}''.<ref name=UltimateE3>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o Super Smash Bros.
