However, on their “Topics” blog on their Japanese website, Nintendo has announced that 5.0 will be ARMS final content update. Balance patches will continue to be released, but presumably there won’t be any more fighters, stages or Arms added to the game.

Splatoon 2 continued its tradition of adding new weapons with tonight’s arrival of the Squeezer. Get a look at it in the video below.
Nintendo has announced the next Party Crash event for ARMS. It will be hosted between December 30 and January 2.
In the new Party Crash, Master Mummy and Twintelle are featured. The theme is “That’s a Wrap”.
If you haven’t heard about Party Crash previously, they temporarily take over the regular Party Match mode. ARMS players can then join in on some fast-paced fights and earn points to raise their Lab Level. When Party Crash ends, everyone who participates will gain in-game currency and badges depending on what Lab Level they reached.
SEGA has prepared a couple of new trailers for the Super Sonic DLC in Sonic Forces. Both videos are attached below.
