Six More Fighters to Release for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Before the Game is Reportedly Done

Reports from PushDustIn (a games journalism translator) on Twitter suggest that only six more fighters will release for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate before support for the game will conclude. This, of course, means that the upcoming Fighters Pass Vol. 2 will be the last.

The news comes translated from a leaked Famitsu column written by Sakurai, the creator of the Smash Bros. franchise. The beloved industry figure has become the face of Smash Brothers, appearing in countless announcements for the series and earning respect for his tireless dedication to it. Increasingly over these past few years, fans have expressed concern for Sakurai: many hope to see him take a break from Smash Brothers and it appears, with this news, that their wishes might come true.
