Last month during E3 2019, Nintendo unveiled the next two DLC additions toÂSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatewould be that ofHero from theÂDragon Questseries along with theclassic Rare characters Banjo-Kazooie. While the likely more anticipated addition in Banjo is slated to arrive later this Fall, Hero was said to arrive at some point this Summer at a still unspecified date. As of now though, it seems like we have an idea on when we could learn more about Hero’s arrival.In a recent message from Nintendo France, it was seemingly teased that news regarding Hero could be coming quite soon. As part of Nintendo France’s ongoing weekly Let’s Smash video series, which teaches players how to improve theirSuper Smash Bros. UltimateÂskills, a message was shared that seemed to indicate Hero information is forthcoming. In the description of the video’s latest episode, it was said that an upcoming “special” episode is coming soon before then mentioning the Hero character specifically.The wording stated said via our own translation, “see you soon for a special Let’s Smash (Someone said something about Heroes?)” before then concluding. You can see a tweet from Nintendo France right here which included the message:
From what we can glean from this tease, it seems likeÂSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate’sHero could have news arriving as soon as this week. As mentioned before, this Let’s Smash series that Nintendo France runs has a new episode release every single week. If the next episode is then meant to show off more of Hero, then it seems like that news would come later this week, along with Episode 26 of the show.
What’s all the more interesting about this tease is that it could also potentially indicate that Hero could actually be released inÂSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatelater this week, too. If Hero’s addition toSmash Bros.is gone about in the same way as the game’s last DLC fighter Joker, whichlaunched somewhat out of nowhere along with the 3.0.0 update, then maybe Hero will have a stealth launch of his own. We hadn’t seen Joker gameplay footage until very close to his release. If this Let’s Smash series is planning to show off some of Hero in action, there’s a precedent that this will also coincide with the fighter’s actual launch.
Regardless of what’s going on here with Hero, it seems likely that we’ll find out more later in the week. But what do you think? Is Hero’s arrival inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatelater this week is feasible? Be sure to let me know down in the comments.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis currently out now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
