Pyra and Mythra are a two-in-one character. The same DLC includes a new stage based on Xenoblade Chronicles 2, new music tracks, and new spirits.

Here’s the official blurb from Nintendo:

Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 were announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate during the most recent Nintendo Direct, and director Masahiro Sakurai will now be giving us a deep dive during a 35-minute presentation. We should be getting some news as well including a release date, more Mii Fighter costumes, and perhaps other bits. The fun begins at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM in the UK / 3 PM in Europe.

Today’s presentation can be viewed as it happens below. As always, we’ll have coverage during and after the event.

During the latest episode of Washa Live hosted by writer Mafia Kajita and voice actor Yuichi Nakamura, Masahiro Sakurai stopped by for a chat. Given the popularity of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate it’s only natural that he was asked about the game.

Pyra/Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will soon be joining the Smash Bros. roster, and there have been all sorts of reactions to the reveal. Some fans have been disappointed to see another sword fighter being added to the game. However, as part of the conversation, the Smash Bros. director reiterated that those kinds of decisions aren’t up to him.

Here’s the full translation from Nintendo Everything:

Nintendo has announced this week’s event for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It’ll be a Pokemon tournament, featuring fighters, stages, and items from the series. It’ll be held for three days starting on March 5.

In other news, Nintendo says that a new 11.0 update is coming soon for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Players are advised to back up any replay data they have by converting it to video. Mythra/Pyra are releasing this month, so version 11.0 should be dropping at the same time.
