Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s The next two DLC characters have reportedly been leaked, courtesy of one Smash Bros. leaker with a bit of a track record. The Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite game have added Pyra and Mythra Xenoblade Chronicles 2 this month, meaning Fighters Pass Vol. 2 still has two vacancies. According to the aforementioned leaker, one of these spots will be filled by Dante from Devil May Cry, a character that has surprised many players, has not yet been added. Joining Dante will presumably be Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2, a character that no one had or expected.
The leak comes the way of Twitter user Sagittarius, which notably passed on the addition of Sephiroth before Nintendo announced the DLC character at The Game Awards 2020. Passing a DLC character accurately before they are revealed will naturally give you credibility, but the fact that it was Sephiroth falls short even more. The addition of Sephiroth came from the left field, and prior to the reveal, not many people had the character on their DLC bingo card.
That said, while the leaker in question Sephiroth was right, it doesn’t mean this should be taken to the bank. While Dante is a somewhat safe bet, Arthur Morgan is a ridiculous scream. For some, this is a huge red flag, but for others, it actually gives credence to the leak.
Of course, if Arthur Morgan is added, it will open the door for that Red Dead Redemption 2 to come to Nintendo Switch. That said, the only thing more absurd than Arthur Morgan adds to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the idea of running the Nintendo Switch Red Dead Redemption 2, but maybe that’s where the rumors Nintendo Switch Pro comes into the picture.
Take all of this with a grain of salt for now, as you would Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC rumor or leak. At the time of publication, Nintendo did not cover the rumor in any capacity, neither Rockstar Games or Capcom. If this changes, we will update the story accordingly.
