343 Industries Stands Hopeful On Master Chief Being Added To Smash Ultimate After Minecraft Steve’s Announcement

For those who might have missed the memo – Mojang Studios’ Steve from Minecraft will be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as the newest addition to the game’s Fighter Pass Vol. 2. After years of jokes and memes flooding fan predictions, Masahiro Sakurai officially unveiled the blocky protagonist to be added to the legacy roster on Nintendo’s latest brawler.

Included in the new addition as illustrated from the trailer includes remixed music of the game’s soundtrack, a total of eight different alt skins including Zombie & Enderman, and a new transitioning stage which flips through different world biomes. With more to be unveiled at a later livestream this Saturday, fans are enticed to see what else will be shared then.

It should also be noted that Minecraft Steve will be the second Microsoft property given the green light for Smash Ultimate – following Banjo-Kazooie which were added last September. But with two now confirmed for the game, this leads many fans to believe there is the possibility for another prolific character to debut as well: Master Chief.

For a long time alike Minecraft Steve, many wished the Halo protagonist would be included in the game’s expansive roster. Now following today’s announcement, 343 Industries shares to be hopeful on the possibility too. Shared on Twitter, studio Community Director Brian Jarrard disclosed his aspirations to see Master Chief in Smash.

Granted, this only presents excitement from a higher stand point on Master Chief being added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and does not solidify the possibility. Though fans do share a similar opinion, it cannot be directly determined if the character will be added to the game or not. But the chances of that happening is not ruled out either.

Back in March 2018, Phil Spencer did state he would be eager to see Banjo-Kazooie added to Smash Ultimate which later became a reality. But one Twitter post does not leave the possibility with concrete enough chances. Similarly, Overwatch was also given clearance from its developers to introduce a character to Smash, but evidently that never came to fruition.

So for now, there is no solid confirmation on Master Chief being added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but we do understand 343 Industries would wish that to be more than just a fantasy. Perhaps the character has some competition if it’s a masked super soldier from Microsoft’s first-party arsenal as now Doom is owned by the firm thanks to the recent acquisition announced last month.
