Sora is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s last DLC fighter


Join gaming leaders online at GamesBeat Summit Next this upcoming November 9-10. Learn more about what comes next. 


Nintendo revealed Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s final DLC character today. It’s Sora from Kingdom Hearts.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate debuted in December 8 and became a (sorry) smash hit for the Switch. It has sold 24.77 million copies as of June. After launch, Nintendo sold a Fighters Pass that gave access to five new characters. That did well enough that Nintendo planned a second Fighters Pass, this time with six new additions.

Whelp, this is the sixth and final character in the second Fighters Pass. This doesn’t mean that support for Ultimate is dead, but anymore new fighters are now unlikely.

Sora has been one of the most requested character additions for Smash for decades. It once seemed like an unlikely dream, but Nintendo has been adding more and more characters from 3rd party franchises. This has included other Square Enix fighters like Cloud, Sephiroth, and Hero from Dragon Quest. Sora is available in Smash in his original Kingdom Hearts costume, as well as his outfits from Kingdom Hearts II, Dream Drop Distance, and Kingdom Hearts III. You can even play as his retro Disney design from Kingdom Hearts II’s Timeless River level.
