Fortnite Star Ninja Teases Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Project
By Nicholas Barth ·
While known for his Fortnite skills, Ninja has teased an upcoming project for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on social media.
Popular Twitch streamer and YouTuber Tyler "Ninja" Belvins has become one of the most popular content creators in the world thanks to his skills in the battle royale title of Fortnite. However, it looks as though one of the next major projects that Ninja will be taking on will not consist of Fortnite but looks to focus on the upcoming Nintendo title of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Tuesday, November 27th saw Ninja take to his Twitter account to state that he has something planned for the fighting game and Super Smash Bros. communities. Ninja did not provide any additional details regarding his upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate project, but many high profile members of the community replied to the announcement from Ninja regarding Ultimate showing their excitement from seeing that the popular content creator will be involved with the community for the popular Nintendo fighting game franchise sometime in the future.

This upcoming project potentially for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would not be the first time that Ninja has seen himself at the center of the community for the popular Nintendo franchise, as the Twitch streamer and YouTuber helped to bring tens of thousands of viewers to the Finals of the Smash 'N' Splash 4: Melee tournament this past June and explained to his younger audience the importance of Melee to the esports world.
The odds of Ninja retiring from Fortnite and devoting his time to becoming the next Super Smash Bros. god in Ultimate are likely extremely slim. However, the teased project that Ninja has in the works for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will no doubt draw plenty of eyes to it.
