Raf Grassetti, Art Director at Santa Monica Studio and Principal Character Artist for
God of War, has recently been sharing some very awesome-looking redesigns for some of the characters from Nintendo's
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The characters he's redesigned from Nintendo's popular crossover fighting game are
Metroid series bounty hunter Samus Aran, and
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's main hero Link; both given a more realistic, and "less-cartoony" look than the designs that Nintendo has established over the years.
He has teased these
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate characters in the past, and on his latest post on Twitter he gives us a silouette of the next character he will be revealing, who could either be Fox McCloud or Wolf O'Donnell from the
Star Fox series, but chances are that it is Fox.
Take a look:
Legendary game worlds and fighters collide in the ultimate showdown—a new entry in the Super Smash Bros. series for the Nintendo Switch system! New fighters, like Inkling from the Splatoon series and Ridley from the Metroid series, make their Super Smash Bros. series debut alongside every Super Smash Bros. fighter in the series…EVER!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is currently available exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
