« Nintendo Direct on Nov. 1 to feature new Smash Bros. Ultimate info »

Early on Oct. 30, 2018, Nintendo announced that its upcoming Nintendo Direct stream will offer the final new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate details before the game's release.

The company promises 40 minutes of coverage on the upcoming brawler hosted by the game's director Masahiro Sakurai, along with a Treehouse: Live presentation after. Nintendo did not offer any information on what will be discussed on the Direct, but if the recent roster leak has any truth behind it then some of the unrevealed characters will likely make their official debuts.

The Nintendo Direct featuring Smash Ultimate will simulcast to a worldwide audience starting at 7 a.m. PDT on Nov. 1, 2018, on the company's Twitch channel and other platforms. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launches for Nintendo Switch on Dec. 4, 2018.
