Smash Bros. Ultimate’s next DLC fighter is Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade
Chronicles 2 dual-fighter will release in March
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s next DLC fighter is Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Nintendo announced during its Direct live stream on Wednesday.
The dual character – the fourth of Ultimate’s second Fighters Pass – will be released in March.
Smash Bros.’ last fighter, Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7, was announced during The Game Awards in December. Before that, Steve from Minecraft was revealed in October and caused Twitter to crash.
Game director Masahiro Sakurai has said that the current DLC Fighters Pass is likely to be the game’s last.
Writing in his regular Famitsu column last summer, Sakurai indicated that following the completion of the current DLC pipeline, “continuous Smash development from Smash for 3DS/Wii U will finally come to an end.”
Sakurai previously said he feels there’s “no way” the series will be able to have as many fighters or series represented again in future games.
He said “If Smash Bros. continues in the future, then there’s no way this many fighters and series can be represented again. There are still requests from all over the world for new fighters in Smash.”
