The Japanese ARMS Twitter account has teased a new arena which is coming to the game soon.
Biff says (at least from what we can make out from the rather ropey Google translation) that the arena is based in some ruins which lie "deep in the forest". This battleground was apparently home to ARMS contests when the association was established many years ago.
We don't get to see much of the stage, but it looks pretty cool, with the ruins and overgrown plants giving it a different feel from the other arenas in the game.

How about a leafy new fighter to go with?
Awesome, hope there is a new character too.
Is it a Miiverse stage.......oh right.
Bet this is a prelude to the next new character - that plant based fighter teased in an earlier Twitter image.
Need to get back to ARMS and collect me some badges

Lol Savage
Leafy Forest ?
Reminds me of the bird people town in Breath of the Wild.
@The_Pixel_King Seems very possible, there was a 'Plant' character mentioned in the datamine leaks https://www.gameskinny.com/fu82z/arms-datamining-leaks-codenames-for-9-new-fighters
Love it. Keep em coming!
ooo looks nice, I keep playing arms in tiny bursts and would play it more if there wasn't so much to play already for me lol
Yay, I was just wondering when the next update would be announced, and I'm very pleased to see this.
ARMS is definitely this year's surprise for me. And I don't even like fighting games apart from Smash.
Biff is such a creepy looking character XD
@SLIGEACH_EIRE 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Gotta love ruins - they're the best setting for everything.
Looks like a cool one. I hope we get a tiki like character or something.
Still not sure if I should get this game...
The data leak did reveal "vine" so this fits the script for a new character
The gift that keeps on giving. This is still a contender for my favorite Switch game.
Go go crazy jungle man!
@ExoticSquidy32 You definitely should. I am not a fighting game guy AT ALL, and I've fallen in love with this game after playing for a few hours.
I say December direct happens where we get a full trailer for a January update
Even if I'm wrong, stoked!
This game desperately needs new modes. There's not enough there (imo) to justify paying $60 for this game, especially when Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8, and other switch games are available
@Oat I already played a lot of Arms and just recently found out that getting an Arm a second time in the Get Arms minigame actually gives you a better version of it, which makes this much more interesting to me. That Arms Test actually is a decent very fun mode, too. And that in 1-on-100 you can try to win with every character in every stage. I'd say there's a lot of variety and to do in Arms to warrant the price, and it even keeps getting better.
@Fitkong Last time when the direct happened the new version was released the same day
I'm pretty convinced the new stage and character will still hit this year. If they follow the same structure as with Lola Pop - teasing mid-August, full Character reveal trailer end of August, release in Mid-September - this would be mid-December that the new stuff will come out. Also except in August there's been some meaningful update in every month until now, no way that there won't be anything in November and December!
@nwel Agree to disagree. There's only 12 characters as of the recent patch (congrats on arms finally reaching the roster of smash 64, a game from 18 yrs ago) and collecting Arms gets old for me when all I have left after doing the 1 v 100 mode and other mini games is just playing online. There's not enough there for me personally to justify $60
@Oat It took Arms 3 months to get to 12 characters so I guess the "finally" is kinda misplaced. Smash 64 hasn't gotten a single additional character ever. Because it's from a totally different time. Comparing the two doesn't really show much. Smash also doesn't have HD graphics, online play, local wireless play - all things Arms also has implemented.
How many hours did you put into Arms then? What's the highest level you've solved Grand Prix with and with what characters? How much of 1-100 have you won? Do you enjoy the gameplay?
Don't you think that Arms as a game in general, for what modes it contains (Grand Prix, Ranked, Online, 1-100, Arms Test, Get Arms), the many different mini-games in online and Grand Prix (Volleyball, Basketball, Headlock Scramble, team matches, fighting against headlock), for the unique different characters, for being an all new IP and for having local multiplayer and single player in almost all modes, has a lot in offer for most gamers to warrant it's price, even if all this might didn't fulfill your personal needs?
