Interestingly, this amiibo tournament announcement coincides with the long-awaited news of the Sora figure, which is set to arrive on February 16. Could another event come once the Kingdom Hearts amiibo is released?
Series creator Masahiro Sakurai also stars chimed in, thanking fans for the five years of Smash Ultimate. “It looks like an event with new spirits will be held here. What game is it from?” Asked.
This surprise announcement comes as fans have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential Smash 6 or a Deluxe Edition of Smash Ultimate with more fighters and stages. Sakurai himself even suggested that there is a new game coming despite the “retirement”.

It’s unclear whether this new content will also contain a new patch – something fans have been clamoring for throughout the ages to adjust the power of some Fighters Pass Volume 2 characters like Minecraft Steve.
