ARMS Update 5.0 Will be the Final Content Update

Unfortunate news comes to those excited about all the love that ARMS has received over the last 7 months. Nintendo announced in a Japanese post that update 5.0 will be the final content update for the game.

ついに謎に包まれていたARMSラボの所長が参戦する『ARMS』 Ver. 5。大型のアップデートとしては、今回が最後のアップデートになる予定です。もちろん、今後もゲームバランスの調整は継続しておこなっていきますので、参戦ファイターも増えてにぎやかになった『ARMS』を、今後ともお楽しみいただければ幸いです！

Which translated approximately to:

The ARMS laboratory, the director of the ARMS lab that was enveloped at last, will participate in the "ARMS" Ver. As a big update, this time will be the last update. Of course, I will continue to adjust the game balance in the future, so I hope you will continue to enjoy "ARMS", which has become more lively as more fighters participate!

Dr. Coyle is easily my new favorite fighter to be added to the game. And while I'm thankful for her inclusion, it is a shame to hear that she marks the end of new content for ARMS. ARMS didn't have quite the wide reception that Nintendo hoped for, so it is no surprise that the dedication to its continued development would end sooner than later.

You can get ARMS for the Nintendo Switch for $59.99.
