Earlier this week, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> director Masahiro Sakurai uploaded a picture from the Switch entry to Twitter<\/a>, featuring Pit from the Kid Icarus<\/a><\/strong> series (see above). It sent many of his followers into a frenzy, as the Battlefield level in the background (picturing Inkling Girl) was actually the one from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While many thought it was likely to be an older build of Ultimate, before the game’s own unique Battlefield level had been constructed (credit to GameXplain<\/a>), it also led to wild speculation that the previous Battlefield stages could be making a return as DLC. It appears this is not the case, though. Sakurai noticed how some fans<\/a> responded and decided to stamp this out right away with the following English tweet<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Yesterday I posted a pic showing what looks like an old version of Battlefield. This was a dev stage we used to check how the game’s fighter models would look using a common light source, etc. You won’t find this in the final version of the game!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

So, there you have it \u2013 the stage seen in Sakurai’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate screenshot is a dev stage and it can’t be found in the release version. Case closed.<\/em><\/p>\n

Were you hoping to see this or other Battlefield stages added? Would you like to see any other stages return? Tell us below.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
