'Kingdom Hearts'' Sora is Last 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate' DLC

"Kingdom Hearts" fans can now officially rejoice as Sora has been announced as the final DLC character of "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate." The "Kingdom Hearts" character has been one of the fan favorites as far as "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" DLC character predictions go.

According to a press release on the Nintendo website, Nintendo of America's Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Communications Nick Chavez said that "Having a fan-favorite character like Sora join the ranks of 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate' is the perfect way to close out the Fighters Pass expansions."

Sora is set to roll out on October 18. The Nintendo press release also says that the "Kingdom Hearts" character "excels at fighting in the air" when played in the game.

"While he is easily launched by opponents, Sora's powerful, combo-based attacks using his mighty Keyblade make him a formidable challenger," according to the press release.

Challenger Pack 11

Sora is part of "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's" Challenger Pack 11. Challenger Pack 11, in turn, is part of the game's Ultimate Fighters Pass Vol. 2.

Also included in the new challenger pack is a new stage called Hollow Bastion, which is featured in many "Kingdom Hearts" games.

According to Nintendo, "The dynamic stage contains one platform in its center, and, as the battle nears its close, players will travel to a special area inspired by Dive to the Heart with visuals featuring some familiar faces from the 'Kingdom Hearts' series."

Players who download Challenger Pack 11 will also get nine "Kingdom Hearts" tracks. Those who have played the "Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory" game will get a track called "Dearly Beloved - Swing Version."

If you're a fan of other "Kingdom Hearts" characters like Riku, Kairi, and Roxas, you'll get to see them as part of a new Spirit Board that will be added.

Other 'Super Smash Bros. Ultimate' DLC Characters

Sora is the 12th and last "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" DLC character. All in all, the total of playable characters for the Nintendo Switch game is 82.

Teams such as Pyra and Mythra from "Xenoblade Chronicles 2" and Steve and Alex from "Minecraft" are counted as solo players.
