Super Smash Bros Ultimate has been getting bigger and bigger ever since its release in December of 2018. Not the least of which is because the game has EVERYONE who has ever been in a Smash Bros game before. Causing the title to sell over 12 million units in a month. Then, the DLC characters started pouring in. With Joker, the Hero of Dragon Quest, and Banjo-Kazooie coming out, and the announcement of Terry Bogard coming in November.
And as if that wasn’t enough, the team behind Smash Bros Ultimate confirmed that even MORE characters are coming to the game after the first fighter pass is complete. For Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the game, he was at the Tokyo Game Show to discuss the title and what it means to him personally:
“I’m sorry for bringing up this personal story at a time like this… but making Smash Bros on the Switch was the last mission the late Satoru Iwata gave to me,” Sakurai said. “I’ve put my all into the game, and with more DLC I will continue to work hard.”
As for the future DLC characters, he didn’t say who would be in it. But he did confirm that two popular fan asks won’t be in the title at all:
“I get all these kinds of requests from abroad like, ‘Where is my believed Iron Man?’ or ‘Where is my beloved Goku?’” Sakurai said. “However, basically [Smash] will only have content from video games in it.”
By that, he means characters born in video games, not characters later put into video games which Goku and Iron Man were.
Still, that leaves a LOT of potential people to be the final character in the first Fighter Pass and the DLC characters to come in 2020 and beyond. We’ll just have to wait and see who comes next.
