Super Smash Bros Ultimate Update 6.1.1 Patch Notes
- Support for the upcoming Dark Samus and Richter amiibo figures has been implemented.
So far, there are only four fighters that have been added to the game post-launch with the fighter pass. One new fighter was Piranha Plant that was available for free at launch as a pre-order bonus. As for the rest, Joker from Persona 5, Banjo Kazooie, Terry Bogard, and Dragon Quest Hero were the four new DLC fighters.
The identity of the last fighter is a mystery for now but this hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about it. The update that was released today mainly seems to add support for Dark Samus and Richter amiibo figures that will be available to purchase later. It is also possible that this update adds support for the fifth fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
