Surprise! There's a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation from Masahiro Sakurai later this week. The presentation will reveal the fifth and final DLC fighter of the current Fighter Pass.

The presentation will take place later this week on Thursday, January 16. It'll last right around 35 minutes, and kicks off at 6 a.m. PST/9 a.m. EST.

On 16/01 at 14:00 (UK time), join #SmashBrosUltimate director Masahiro Sakurai for a roughly 35 minute-long livestream featuring an in-depth look at an upcoming DLC fighter! The fighter will be unveiled in the video.

This Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation is going to be the longest one yet to focus on a single fighter. Previously, the presentation from Sakurai that revealed SNK's Terry Bogard as a DLC fighter lasted just over 20 minutes.

So, can we expect another history lesson from Sakurai with this fifth DLC fighter reveal? We'd certainly love another charming presentation with the Smash Bros. director.
