Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Sora DLC Release Date and Price
It was previously leaked thatSora fromKingdom Heartswould be the final DLC characterinSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, and it turns out those leaks were correct. It seems the roadblocks keeping Sora fromKingdom Heartshave since been removed and the character is now making his way to the crossover fighting game as the final DLC character. Sora is said to be an easy character to play, which should make him more accessible than past DLC characters.
With Sora, Nintendo has gotten especially creative with the alternate costumes. Depending on if someone is P1, P2, P3, P4, or beyond, Sora will look different. His costumes are based on his appearances from the variousKingdom Heartsgames over the years. For example, P1 will look like Sora from the firstKingdom Heartsgame, whereas P2 will look like Sora fromKingdom Hearts 2.
Sora’s attacks will be familiar to anyone who has played theKingdom Heartsgames, as he is able to pull off all his familiar attacks. Sora’s special attacks are mostly based on his Magic like Thundaga, Blizzaga, etc.
Sora is part of theSuper Smash Bros. UltimateFighters Pass Vol. 2, so anyone that has that will automatically have him added to their roster. Those who aren’t introduced in the otherSuper Smash Bros. UltimateDLC characters but just want Sora can purchase him separately for $5.99. The Sora DLC will launch forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateon Monday, October 18.
