After much anticipation and wait, Nintendo revealed during E3 the next Super Smash Bros Ultimate character that’ll join the roster as DLC. The Dragon Quest Heroes are slated to be added to the Super Smash Bros Ultimate in Summer 2019, a set of characters who were among the many possibilities and rumors surrounding the question of who the next fighter might be now. Nintendo gave its fans a first look at the new character during the presentation and showed off some of the new fighters’ moves.

This next DLC character will be the second post-launch characters that the players will have to pay for if they want to play as the fighter, assuming you don’t already own the pass that gives access to all the characters. The Joker from Persona 5 was the first paid post-launch character to be added with Piranha Plant released before that as a bonus for those who had redeemed their code in time to get the fighter.

Judging from the footage that we’ve seen in the E3 teaser, it looks as though the characters will play more like Bowser Jr. than they will something like the Pokemon Trainer. This means that the various characters from the Dragon Quest series look like they’ll be playable as very different “skins” just as the various Koopalings can be picked.
