At E3 2019, Nintendo revealed the 'Hero' from the Dragon Quest series would come to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as DLC this summer. So, when will this fighter actually be released?
It seems the character's arrival could be near – with Gamexplain revealing Nintendo has updated Ultimate's spirit database with multiple Dragon Quest spirits. Much like Joker, the Hero is also expected to have an event celebrating its history.
To see some of the Dragon Quest spirits, take a look at the video below:
This latest development follows on from a possible hint provided by a 7-Eleven advertisement in Japan.
What's so interesting about this particular ad is that it's only supposed to be up until 4th August (aka. next weekend). This date happens to coincide with EVO 2019, where Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will conclude the show.

Looking forward to this, but even more to DQXI's release in September!
Forgot about the two new characters coming with these overwhelming releases that’s been coming out back to back. Hopefully hero comes out next week so I can have some time with 3 houses 😓
The Hero draws ne- wait thats in the headline...The Hero draws nearer!
With EVO drawing near, I don’t doubt about the Hero coming around EVO time. Mind you, Smash Ult is the final game on schedule.
Given both Piranha Plant and Joker released on Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning (time zone dependent), I think it'll be either 30th/31st July shadow drop like with Joker or Smash Direct announcement at EVO for 6th August with Hero release date on 6th/7th August.
Enough with the rumours already! Just tell us when it's out!
I wonder if EVO will give us the release date of Hero and Banjo! Would be pretty crazy.
I doubt they will show off the fourth fighter so soon.
I've been addicted to smash lately. Can't wait for the new characters. The roster is sooo huge. I wonder what direction they will go for the sequel. How can they top this?
It's been a long time coming, but we JRPG fans are really being spoiled this generation. Hype for both The Hero and DQXIS!
Oh Lawd they comin'...
@Obitokamui64 Here's a little hint: "Spartans never die... they're just missing in action."
This...makes a lot of sense, as EVO promised to bring host to more announcements this year than any other....
"It seems Nintendo are making preparations to launch the hero". That did make me giggle.
Actually, there's a bit of misinformation here. Nintendo didn't just update the Hero Spirits, it's actually unknown when exactly they added the Hero spirits data. It just took people till recently to discover them. It's not that they weren't there, but rather the method used to find them hadn't been tried till recently. So Nintendo could have added them recently, or they could have been added a while back.
Welp when the hero shows up I will jump back into smash. Very excited for this character.
