The advert is for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/01\/super_smash_bros_ultimate_fighters_pass_volume_2_will_add_another_six_fighters\">Smash Ultimate&#8217;s Fighters Pass Vol. 2<\/a>, showing the already-playable Min Min and a series of blank spaces, and is due to be taken down \u2013 or expire \u2013 on 4th October.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fighter Pass 7 will be announced extremely soon.

Because this seems to be following a very familiar pattern of DLC fighter launches gone by.<\/p>\n<p>Previous Smash advertisements spotted at 7-Eleven in Japan, also featuring expiry dates, have appeared and then been taken down as a new fighter becomes available. In the cases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2019\/09\/banjo-kazooie_store_ads_suggest_smash_bros_ultimate_release_could_be_imminent\">both Banjo-Kazooie and Hero<\/a>, for example, the characters became playable by the time similar ads were due to be removed.<\/p>\n<p>If the trend continues, this means that the next Smash fighter might be scheduled to be announced \u2013 and will possibly launch \u2013 by 4th October, making the new advertisement outdated.<\/p>\n<p>It certainly <em>feels<\/em> like we must be getting closer to the next fighter&#8217;s reveal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/06\/min_min_revealed_as_super_smash_bros_ultimates_next_fighter\">Min Min was revealed and launched back in June<\/a>), but nothing is confirmed just yet.
