Nintendo reconfirms no more new content updates for ARMS
Although it was essentially known previously, Nintendo has once again confirmed that ARMS will not be receiving any new content in the future. Director Kosuke Yabuki has said that there could be updates for balance adjustments in the future as well as other small changes, but nothing along the lines of new characters.
Yabuki told Eurogamer:
“After its launch on 16th June, we released several significant free content updates for ARMS, including five new characters, 12 new ARMS, five new stages, collectible badges, and new modes like Party Crash. More Party Crash events are on the way, and we’ll continue to make balance adjustments and other small changes to improve the gaming experience, but we currently have no plans for bigger updates.
There are also a few things I’d like to highlight personally. With the director of the ARMS Laboratory, Dr. Coyle, joining the ARMS Grand Prix, all the ARMS fighters have finally got together!
Because of our commitment to ongoing updates since launch, we feel we’ve reached a point where the strengths and weaknesses of fighters are generally balanced, making for some really exciting battles.
We will definitely continue to make balance adjustments, as well as run more Party Crash events. Everyone on the development team hopes that players over the world can enjoy ARMS for many years!”
