It has been revealed in today's Treehouse Live segment from E3 that ARMS will be getting a new playable character next month.
Max Brass is referred to as "the greatest champion in the history of the ARMS Grand Prix", and at the present moment in time he's not playable in the game. However, an update coming next month will unlock the character for normal play.
Another update will also introduce a spectator mode for online play, allowing you to watch and analyse the tactics of other players.
ARMS launches tomorrow worldwide. Have you got your copy on order?

Still hoping for Lanky Kong.
Well a nice surprise I had hoped for at least another mystery game rather then dlc.
I'm loving all the character designs from Arms, and this guy is so outrageous.
Figured Max Brass would be added eventually. It's nice to see more characters, but he doesn't really interest me that much. His abilities are essentially just copies of existing characters (Master Mummy/Mechanica and Spring Man). Can't wait to see future updates!
I'm disappointed to not see his swirly eyes.
Well that's a nice way to amp me up, new free character in a months time. It's settled, I gotta pick this one up :]
I'll be downloading this tonight at midnight.
Looked a bit OP in the Treehouse trailer, but more characters are always welcome.
Pre-order has shipped
Didn't pre-order but still buying tomorrow
10 fighters is a bit on the low side, so it's good that this game will eventually get more characters.
Yay...
Another Big Body ARMS character.
Max Brass reminds me of Max Anarchy.
#crossover?
Spring Man + Master Mummy + Steroids = Max Brass
Well gold (and purple) has always been my color so it'll be a pleasure trying you out, Sir Brass.
Btw, is he in the game right now? Not in a playable state obviously but I feel like I have seen him somewhere before. Is he the final boss of Arcade or something?
Anyway, had a blast with the Testpunch so I am rather excited to pick up my preorder eight hours from now and start throwing punches as soon as I'm on the train back home.
hope they fix the issue with motion controls I've been hearing and allow people to set a block to a button instead crossing joy cons
Meh, not a girl character, already sucks.
favorite character so far is Ninjara
Give us at least fifteen fighters. I would be very happy if we got twenty fighters. My Amazon order should be at my doorstep tomorrow at 6 pm. I am so hyped to finally play the full game!
Give us more girl characters. Make it so the ratio is fifty fifty.
@iescalie1 Technically speaking, before this character's introduction, the gender ratio was 50-50 (well, 40-40-20, anyway). There are four female characters, four male characters, and two characters who clearly are genderless (Helix and Barq/Byte). The eleventh character is male, so as long as the next character is female, the game will continue to be an even split.
@thesilverbrick I'm not the only one hoping for that???
I can't wait until I get home from work tomorrow. My copy should be here by then!
Also glad to see support is already coming in, I hope they add new arms fairly regularly too!
@ShadJV Hope they do too. I am going to play so much Arms and Splatoon. They are definitely my cup of tea. The more Arms the better.
Put Little Mac as DLC. Punch out is not coming out any time soon. So give us something. Hedlock should have his own body and be another playable character.
@tamantayoshi How is the game so far? I would have downloaded it, but I like physical copies better. The discounts stack up when one buys so many games off Amazon or Best Buy. The games that are only digital, I download of course.
To answer your question; yes I did got a copy. Is in transit right now. Amazon Prime is great (20% less/no tax) but I always get my games like a week (sometimes 2) after release.
@iescalie1 I've only played it a bit, but its really fun so far. Grand prix is challenging.
I am about to start playing. What is your nintendo switch friend code so that we can play online?

My copy did arrive on release day and I'm loving it so far. It's great there is a new character to play so soon, although it would have been even more exciting if it was an unfamiliar character - they should come later
