Nine years after the events of ''Star Fox 64'', Wolf reappeared in ''{{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}''. During these intervening years, Wolf assumed control over the {{iw|lylatwiki|Sargasso Space Zone}}, an illegal hub for criminals and former members of the Venomian Army. He also recruited [[Panther Caroso]], a top-class pilot, to replace Andrew and Pigma.<ref name=AssaultCharacters/> When Star Fox searched for Pigma in order to retrieve a {{iw|lylatwiki|Core Memory}} that he stole earlier, Star Wolf proceeded to face Star Fox in a dogfight over what Wolf presumed to be an invasion of his territory.

Upon being defeated, Wolf called off their dogfight, but would later arrive on Corneria alongside Leon and Panther in order to save Fox 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 from a full-fledged villain into an honorable, albeit still unlawful, anti-hero. Following this incident, Star Wolf provided backup to Star Fox at the {{iw|lylatwiki|Beltino Orbital Gate}} and the {{iw|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 might have still been alive, following their discovery of Peppy and ROB 64 surviving the suicide charge that allowed Star Fox to destroy the Aparoid Queen at the cost of the Great Fox.

In ''{{iw|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 mercenaries. In response, 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 {{iw|lylatwiki|Fichina}} before hatching a plan to simultaneously remove their bounties and improve their reputations. Soon after, Wolf recruited Krystal into Star Wolf following her expulsion from Star Fox, which was caused by Fox's fear of her dying while a part of the team like his father.

With the advent of the {{iw|lylatwiki|Anglar Empire}}, Star Wolf sought to remove their bounties by plotting a way to defeat them, which reaffirmed their status as anti-heroes. Although ''Command'' features multiple branching storylines that see Star Wolf achieve varying degrees of success in their bid to stop the Anglar Empire, ''Command''{{'}}s director Dylan Cuthbert stated that none of them represent the true ending as it's effectively up to the player to decide how the game truly ends, based on their preferences and choices in the story. <ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/63w1lw/im_dylan_cuthbert_ive_been_making_games_since/ibwzvl7/?context=3 I’m Dylan Cuthbert.

In ''{{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox Zero}}'', a reimagining of ''Star Fox 64'', Wolf and his team are depicted almost identically to their portrayals in that title. Despite this, Wolf's portrayal in particular received a few noticeable alterations. The Sector β mission can result either in him shooting down Fox's mentor and teammate, {{iw|lylatwiki|Peppy Hare}}, or retreating after he receives a sufficient amount of damage (in reference to his appearance in ''Star Fox 2''). The Wolfens are also capable of assuming a wolf-like Hunter mode to counter the Arwing's bipedal Walker mode.

Wolf appears as a [[newcomer]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. He can be [[Unlockable character|unlocked]] by playing 450 VS. Mode matches, clearing [[Boss Battles Mode]] with {{SSBB|Fox}} or {{SSBB|Falco}}, or entering a secret door in [[The Ruins]] after completing [[The Subspace Emissary]]. Like Fox and Falco, Wolf sports a modified version of his design in ''{{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox: Assault}}'' and ''{{iw|lylatwiki|Star Fox Command}}''.

==Trivia==
*In both ''Brawl'' and ''Ultimate'', Wolf has a slower running speed than Falco, who in turn has a slower running speed than Fox. However, in the Versus mode of ''Star Fox: Assault'', which predates Wolf's playable ''Smash'' debut, the speed differences are the opposite, with Wolf being the fastest.
