Super Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s next fighter has been announced by Nintendo.
From 2017’s Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pyra and Mythra will be added as a double character next month. They fill the fourth of the six slots Fighters Pass Part 2, and will also be offered for sale separately if you do not want to buy the full pass.

Pyra is able to use fire-based moves such as Flame Nova, Prominence Revolt and Blazing End, while Mythra’s light-element attacks include Photon Edge, Ray of Punishment and Foresight.
Pyra and Mythra also have slightly different Final Smashes.
