Nintendo wraps Smash Bros. roster with Kingdom Hearts’ Sora ~ USA Latest Games

Kingdom Hearts' Sora is the final fighter to be added in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Challenger Pack 11 DLC. Square Enix's beloved action RPG series is a mashup of Final Fantasy and Disney worlds.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate came out with a bang Tuesday, with Nintendo revealing that Kingdom Hearts' Sora will be the final addition to the game's substantial roster of fighters—and that the fan-favorite Square Enix-Disney action RPG mashup is coming to the Switch via cloud gaming.

Announced in a final showcase hosted by director Masahiro Sakurai, Ultimate's Challenger Pack 11 DLC will feature Kingdom Hearts' hero, the twelfth new DLC fighter since Super Mario's Piranha Plant was added in January 2019. Sora employs his signature weapon, the Keyblade, as well as elemental magic attacks and will be available for download later this month.
