Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses is now available in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The character was announced during a special Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Nintendo Direct earlier this month.

Both versions of Byleth are playable.

Byleth is available to players who own the Fighters Pass Volume 1, or alternatively, you can purchase Challenger Pack 5 separately for $5.99 or your regional equivalent. The Byleth pack also comes with the Garreg Mach Monastery stage and 11 new tracks from the Fire Emblem series.

New outfits for Wii Fighter are also available. You can pick up outfits based on Assassin’s Creed, Cuphead, Mega Man, and Rabbids for $0.75 apiece or the regional equivalent.

Alongside the new content comes a new update available to all players. It features game-balance adjustments and changes to fighters. The base patch notes are below, and you can look over the list of fighter changes at the link (thanks, Siliconera).
