Although Nintendo is done with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate development, it is still busy making amiibo for the game's DLC fighters.
If you've been wondering about the next batch, Nintendo has today finally confirmed Final Fantasy's Sephiroth and Tekken's Kazuya will be arriving early next year on 13th January 2023. In addition to this, it's also given fans a first look at the Pyra and Mythra (Xenoblade Chronicles 2) amiibo - launching at some point in 2023.
Masahiro Sakurai previously confirmed these four amiibo in his final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate presentation. Presumably, Sora from Kingdom Hearts (the final DLC fighter) will follow these four figures.

At last... my Smash collection will be complete after these and Sora.
Also.... It will be the first time where we catch up with the games vs amiibos............ and then we will have to fill the void with what? A Master Hand to finish it all up nicely?
My wallet's ready for the Pyra and Mythra amiibo! Not gonna pass up on characters from my favorite game of all time. Just give me the preorder link and I'm there!
If it wasn’t for this being a Nintendo site and I’d expect to be inundated with replies, I’d ask who genuinely still cares about these amiibo when we’re nearly into 2023.
Ahhhhhh finally!!
Assuming Sora is still a no-show since guessing Disney wants him to solely be in the spotlight when his amiibo releases.
Kazuya will be added for sure, though I still wish it were the suit version with the karate pants pose.
Sephiroth will depend mostly on my mood.
Pyra and Mythra...I don't really care, but I guess I wouldn't mind if I end up getting them, much like, funnily enough, my Shulk amiibo.
EDIT
@nessisonett ummm, scalpers?
Are they available for preorder anywhere or does that come later?
@nessisonett I’m not usually one to be cynical. But I kind of had the same thoughts. These feel a little bit on the late side and for no real good reason.
@OstianOwl Physical merchandising rights are probably a mess, but I'm sure we'll see Sora eventually.
@nessisonett I'm sure any Xenoblade fan is thrilled by this announcement, this series hardly gets any official merchandise. Plus, getting Nintendo-licensed Kazuya & Sephiroth figures is pretty awesome, even if amiibo are well beyond their hype craze.
@Johnnel The pre-orders are live on the Japanese MyNintendo site, not sure about North America or Europe
I expect another full year of amiibo releases. Tears of the Kingdom, definitely. Pikmin 4, maybe.
Dreading the inevitable My Nintendo Store crash when the 5 Pyra & Mythra Nintendo decided to make go on sale
Seph looks really good.
Definitely preordering Pyra and Mythra when they become available. Shulk amiibo is still one of my favorites.
@nessisonett I have been impatiently waiting for that Sephiroth amiibo since at least March of 2021. 😉

I'm going to preorder Sephiroth then never buy an amiibo ever again.
Not looking forward to the preorder chaos.
They’ve been better about releasing enough figures to meet demand lately, so I’m not as worried about snagging one of each of these. The initial waves tend to sell out fast but then stores wind up with crazy overstock, as seen with the Zelda/Loftwing and Metroid double pack, which are still languishing on shelves everywhere.
@nitrolink don’t forget they’ll probably make amiibo for the splatoon 3 hosts if history repeats itself and there still be a bowser jr that was never released for the Mario series they showed it in a few Wii U games so maybe more Mario series amiibo but I see the 10 year anniversary signaling the end of amiibo which will be 2024.. 👽🛸
@Otoemetry I saw the Minecraft amiibo in stores. They'll print enough of these.
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Confirmed. I work in a distribution center for a major US retailer and we recently blasted through over 3,000 of each of the splatoon 3 amiibo over the course of a few days. We just had them all chucked into gaylords waiting for order pickers. Funko bobbleheads also arrive in bewildering quantities.
Sora better get one. It would be asinine if he ended up being the only one who didn't get an Amiibo.
@YoshiF2 How about alternate characters? Alph, Koopalings, different genders for characters that have that option. As well as redesigned characters that don't have an amiibo for their new (or default) look yet like the Zelda characters, and Ike.
They could do that if they really wanted to. Probably aren't going to though.
I'll definitely pick up Pyra and Mythra. Otherwise largely fallen off with Amiibos at this point - think the only Ultimate ones I've gotten at all are Ridley, Joker, and Min Min, though would've gotten Byleth if they did a female one - but I do want those two.
I've been waiting for the Sethiroth and kazuya ones for ages! Any idea when they'll be available to pre order?
Sephiroth day one, just looks amazing
Wow, they look stunning. I can't wait to finally complete my Smash Bros collection!
"Presumably, Sora from Kingdom Hearts (the final DLC fighter) will follow these four figures."
no, it wont. it was never announced as an amiibo
Kazuya’s jumping the queue? I expected him after Pyra/Mythra, if they were following the DLC release order. Guess they’re limiting them to 2 per wave now, makes more sense to keep the 2 girls together, and the 2 third party devilmen together.
@nessisonett While amibo are just more plastic tat to me - who needs more clutter, or expense - I’m aware other people still love them. They will fly off shelves.
Good luck trying to buy Sephiroth everyone!
Going to get atleast Pyra! Wish Nintendo did more amiibos.
@Axecon Same. Been waiting for them!
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika “ Kardashions funko pops “
Some day one of those is going to be the President of the United States. Not a Kardashian, one of their Funko Pops. 🇺🇸
@Yohoewutup
Haha. Yeah. I forgot about the Splatoon 3 idols. We should be close to a decade of amiibos when finally complete.
why do Minecraft and Xenoblade get two Amiibo each, but we couldn't get female Byleth or other alts?
Also, I really want Sora news. I can't wait for that one
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Mickey Mouse could win a 3rd party Presidential run. Daisy as VP. The duck, not the princess.😂
@EaglyTheKawaiiShika #FurryNation
@Mando44646 Pyra and Mythra are considered seperate fighters, and both play differently so it makes sense they got seperate amiibos. In Steve's case the only thing I can think of is some kind of contractual obligation with Microsoft to do an amiibo for Alex as well, otherwise it doesn't really make a lot of sense. I agree though, it is disappointing that some of the other characters like Byleth and the DQ Heroes didn't get alt amiibos.
pyra and mythra amiibos day one buy for me.
I'm looking forward to the smash amiibo collection coming to an end as I only collect these.
@nessisonett Pyra/Mythra have been at the top of my amiibo wishlist forever. I love XC2.
My son and I have been playing a lot of Smashy recently, and now that I'm finally trying to finish all the stuff that I've been putting off for several years, I find that Pyra/Mythra is easily my favorite character. Heck yeah I'll be buying those two.
Really hoping these don't become a target for scalpers...
@Nf157 I pre ordered Sephiroth in early October
A great start for 2023! Amiibo for life.
@NorwegianMate damn! I’ve been keeping an eye out but I must have missed it… thanks for the heads up.
Guess the Amiibo collecting will begin again.
Any idea why they chose to re-release Marth and Corrin Player 2? Both are up for pre-order at Target.
@BigMacSauss Most likely for the release of Fire Emblem Engage.
Latest 2 Smash Amiibo now on UK Nintendo Store for UK buyers.
@Axecon Me too!
