Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s final character is Sora from Kingdom Hearts

The final character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Smash Bros. game director Masahiro Sakurai announced the final add-on character — the 82nd for the Switch fighting game — during his final “Mr. Sakurai Presents” presentation on Tuesday.

Sora is, of course, the protagonist of Square Enix’s popular Kingdom Hearts series. He wields the key blade, a sword-key melee weapon, to battle the evil Heartless alongside Disney allies Donald Duck and Goofy. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Sora will sport a variety of looks, with costumes from the original Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dread Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts 3, and the Timeless River world from KH2.

Sora will round out Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s second Fighters Pass, which previously added Kazuya Mishima from Tekken, Min Min from Arms, Steve and Alex from Minecraft, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, and Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

Sakurai confirmed in June, during a showcase for Kazuya, that the final character added as part of Fighters Pass Vol. 2 would indeed be Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s last.

Nintendo announced Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in March 2018, teasing that veteran fighters like Mario and Link from The Legend of Zelda would square off against newcomers like the Inklings from Splatoon. Ultimate welcomed many new fighters to the game’s already massive roster, including Isabelle from Animal Crossing, Ridley from Metroid, and Incineroar from Pokémon. Post-launch DLC added even more, including Joker from Persona 5, Banjo & Kazooie, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, and Terry from Fatal Fury.
