Several days ago Nintendo promised that ARMS would be getting one last update before the year ends, and that the update to version 5.0 is expected to bring about a new character that was teased in a video ahead of its release. The good news for ARMS players is that it looks like the update is live along with the game’s latest character.

This character comes in the form of Dr. Coyle and she is the latest addition to the ARMS roster. Nintendo has been steadily increase the number of playable characters in the game, and Dr. Coyle is the latest one. In fact it was just last month that a new character and map was added to the game, and presumably Nintendo has plans for more content to be added to ARMS at a later date.

With a new Super Smash Bros. title having yet to be officially revealed, it seems that Nintendo is using ARMS to help promote the Switch as a competitive gaming platform. Various ARMS tournaments have been held over the world since the game’s release, although whether or not it’ll reach the heights of Super Smash Bros. remains to be seen, especially given that the game is less than a year old.

That being said, the update for ARMS is now live, so just fire up your Switch console and the game should start updating itself.
