Every so often, a new rumor or “leak” appears forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateclaiming to know who will be the next DLC character. There have been a few holdovers who pop up time and again likeDoom’s iconic Doomguy, whereas others are more unique likeGeno fromSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.However, the latest DLC leak reveals a big DLC character for the crossover fighting game, if it is to be believed.
Leaks often live and die by their source, with the most-known leakers having a solid background of being accurate. This latestSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateleaker is known as Monsun, and just last month, he accurately leaked the existence ofHalf-Life: Alyx, as well as a variety of details about it. At the same time as Monsun leaked this, he also revealed thatHalf Life’s Gordon Freeman would be coming toSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Other than that Freeman was coming toSmash Ultimate, the only other thing Monsun revealed was that an announcement would be made at the Game Awards. Since that takes place on December 12, interested fans will only need to wait a little longer to see if Monsun’s Gordon Freeman inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateleakproves to be true. But thus far, there seems to be little reason to doubt Monsun.
Many consider this to be a fake and for good reason. This sounds too good to be true, and even well-knownSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateleaker Sabi seems to be struggling to believe this. Without theHalf-Life: Alyxreveal leak to back Monsun up, there’s simply no way this rumor would have gained the online traction it has, simply because of how far-fetched it sounds.
For now, the best thing is to take this latestSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateleak with a grain of salt, as all leaks, and tune into theGame Awards on December 12for the ultimate verdict on this leak.Smash Ultimateis up for Game of the Year, so it should be a good show regardless of whether or not there is an announcement of any sort, but it seems like there would be.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis out now, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
