The Game Awards, a presentation dedicated to honoring the best games of the year, had a few surprises for fans of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Persona 5.
Joker from Persona 5 will join the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster as a playable character via the “Challenger Pack 1” DLC, the first of a total of five DLCs planned for the game, each of which includes a new playable character, a new stage, and new songs. By purchasing the “Fighters Pass” for US$24.99, the player will gain access to all five Challenger Packs, which individually cost US$5.99.
