Much debate has gone into who the finalSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecharacter will be. While it wasn’t shown during the latest Nintendo Direct, fans now have a date for when the finalSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecharacter will be revealed.
Since its release in 2018, Nintendo has thrived off the inclusion of new fighters toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Through its two Fighters Passes, Ultimate has received 10 new characters, many of which coming from non-Nintendo exclusive franchises, like Steve fromMinecraftand Sephiroth fromFinal Fantasy 7. It has been a few months since the game received its last character, Kazuya from theTekkenseries, and in that time, many rumors have spread hoping for one perfect character to take the last spot. Whether it’sWaluigi as the finalSmash Bros.Ultimatefighter, Crash Bandicoot, or some other unexpected addition, the decision will likely not satisfy everyone.

During the latest Nintendo Direct, the reveal date for the finalSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecharacter was announced. The last character will be announced during “The Final Mr. Sakurai Presents forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,” on October 5 at 7:00 am PT and 10:00am ET.

Nintendo has added a lot ofDLC fighters toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, and now players have a date of when the final addition will be made.
It is both an encouraging and discouraging announcement, with this being the finalSmash Ultimateevent. Beyond it being the end ofSmash Ultimate’s DLC announcements, this is also potentially the last timeMasahiro Sakurai deliversSmash Bros.information. Creating the series over 20 years ago, and being extremely involved in every sequel, some might argue there is noSmash Bros.without Sakurai. It is no surprise then, the excitement and speculation now resting on this event.
With this event, it will perhaps be time to looking to the future of theSmash Bros.franchise.Ultimatewas marketed as the greatest, most complete version ofSmash Bros.,and if this ends up beingSakurai’s finalSmash Bros. game, it may very well also be the finalSmash Bros.title. In the past, there has only been oneSmash Bros. game per Nintendo console, so fans will likely have to wait until Nintendo’s next console generation at least. For the time being, fans can enjoy these final days until the end ofUltimate.
