As Nintendo has announced on Twitter, the next DLC fighter for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be revealed in exactly 22 hours. However, this will not be the typical presentation from Masahiro Sakurai, instead the man himself will only give us a few words after the three minute long reveal video.
This most likely means that we're not getting the next Challenger Pack in the next two weeks, but later this year. So, there might be a small delay happening, which could be the result of cooperating with a 3rd party in today's world of home office. Sakurai's message might even be about the current difficulties, where he asks us to understand and be a little more patient.
And with 3rd party additions the possibilities are nearly endless: Steve, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot, Doom Slayer, Master Chief, Ryu Hayabusa, Monster Hunter, Tracer, Travis Touchdown, Dante... It's kind of overwhelming.
I personally have a feeling that we might be getting another Square Enix character at some point in the second Fighters Pass, mainly because they still haven't released the Chocobo and Geno Mii outfits yet, which is somewhat suspicious. And here my best guess would be Agnés Oblige from Bravely Default, where the "Bravely" games are exclusive to Nintendo systems. But I wouldn't place any bets on this, especially not for tomorrow. It really could be anybody.
It's also notable how there's the Minecraft Live 2020 stream this Saturday, which could be why Nintendo is doing a short announcement prematurely. Let's say it's really Steve, then Nintendo might want to use the virtual "Minecon" as a platform for additional advertisement. Get as many Minecraft fans on board with the news as possible...
Well, we'll see who it is soon enough. And for Zelda fans it probably won't be as interesting as the next playable fighter reveal for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which might overshadow Smash for the next months, like Hyrule Warriors did four years ago.
