Max Brass is also the final boss of the campaign.
Max Brass will be joining #ARMS next month as free DLC!
Spectator mode is coming to the game via the first update this month. Max Brass will be coming in the second update next month. ARMS will receive free updates with new weapons, arenas, and characters throughout its lifespan.
The game was shown off during the Nintendo Treehouse livestream for E3 2017. The ARMS Open Invitational was also held during E3 where pro players were invited to duke it out for the championship.
