The immensely popular party brawler on the Nintendo Switch, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, already has a massive roster of playable characters. With the largest selection of characters in the series, there’s still a handful of new characters arriving via future DLC.

So far, we have seen who two of the total six DLC characters who are joining in on the cross-over fighter. The Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series was the first add-on character announced coming as a gifted pre-order bonus. The second character, Joker from Persona 5, was revealed at the Game Awards 2018, leaving four unannounced playable characters left on the DLC list.

In a report from Gearnuke, the Japanese gaming news site, 5Channel, has allegedly leaked the remaining future SSBU characters, backed up by a small grasp of credibility. The same leak foreshadowed the recent Persona 5 R reveal which also states the new Persona title will release somewhere in the first half of 2019.

Along with Piranha Plant and Joker, the leak highlights some interesting new characters joining the Ultimate roster. Ryu Hayabusa, from the iconic Ninja Gaiden series, is said to join in on the Super Smash mayhem in hopes of releasing around the series’ 30th anniversary, which would have celebrated the original arcade release this past October. Unless, of course, we’re talking about the first console release in the series, which released in December of 1988 in Japan, but in March of 1989 in the west. Either way, the leak states a new Ninja Gaiden title to release sometime this year.

The second of the four characters is supposedly Steve, the protagonist from the Minecraft series. Rumored by the leak to be revealed at this year’s E3 event, Steve will also have the option of two alternating costumes: Alex (Minecraft) and Master Chief (Halo). The later announcement is scheduled to help promote the upcoming Minecraft DLC, Minecraft Dungeons.

With the latest Dragon Quest title, Dragon Quest XI, heading to the Switch the third leak points at Erdrick from Dragon Quest III joining the roster. Costume changes of Anlucia from Dragon Quest X and the hero from Dragon Quest XI are also said to be available.

And finally, the fourth leak is said to include Doomguy from the FPS series, Doom. With the upcoming Doom Eternal gearing up to release in 2019 with the Switch as one of its platforms, Doomguy is also rumored to be announced at the E3 2019 event.

All of these rumors are exactly that: rumors. None of them have officially been confirmed, but are in fact coming through somewhat reputable sources. While we still have some time to ponder over who’s still to come in Ultimate, it sure is exciting to think on all of the possibilities.

Stay tuned for more on the possible DLC character leak for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
