With Pyra and Mythra now available as part of the Challenger 9 package, there are now only two characters from Fighters Pass Vol. 2 that have not yet been revealed and released. It is unknown at this time whether there will be a Fighters Pass Vol. 3 or any additional content for Super Smash Bros. Completed after the launch of these last two fighters. Based on what Masahiro Sakurai said on the subject in the past, it doesn’t seem very likely at first glance.
However, fans recently discovered something interesting on the Australian site Nintendo that suggests the existence of some kind of content that comes after Challenger Pack 11, the final DLC package for Fighters Pass Vol. 2. PapaGenos recently released a video covering the details of behind this rumor, which is based on the discovery made by RiuBert in a Reddit thread.
By replacing the last five digits of the numeric part of the URL – “700500000xxxxx” – with “08502”, users can be found on the Joker Challenger Pack page. Similarly, entering URLs 08503, 08504, 08505 and 08506 will instead bring a user to the Challenger Hero, Banjo and Kazooie Challenger packages, Terry Bogard Challenger Pack and Byleth Challenger Pack respectively.
All the content of the first Fighters Pass is ordered on the site exactly like this. It is also worth mentioning that the Piranha plant page and the Rex Mii costume pages are set to 08501 and 08507, respectively.
Similarly, Fighters Pass Vol. 2 characters can be found using this method. Min Min is 18967, Steve is 18968, Sephiroth is 18969 and Pyra & Mythra are 18970. Challenger Pack 10 and Challenger Pack 11 are listed as 18971 and 18972, but details of the identities of these characters are not yet found on the site.
As with the Rex Mii costume, the bonus content that comes with purchasing the Fighters Pass Vol. 2, the Ancient Helm & Gear Mii costume from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is listed after the challenging Fighters Pass Vol. 2. What is remarkable here is that the numeric part of the URL is listed as “70050000018974” and not “70050000018973.” Indeed, there is a gap between the Fighters Pass Vol. 2 characters and the Ancient Helm & Gear Mii Bonus costume set.
Although there are those who speculate that this could be a kind of “bonus character” for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (something similar to the Piranha plant), it could also be another Thousand suit, or nothing at all.
It is worth mentioning that the Mii costumes that are part of the Mii 1-9 costume waves for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are listed separately from the contents of the first Fighters Pass and Fighters Pass Vol. 2.
Nintendo has a history of unannounced content leaks for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate like this in the past. We were able to find out that Smash Ultimate will receive Castlevania content in the base game and an SNK representative for Challenger Pack 4 because of this.
However, if we were to take Masahiro Sakurai’s words at face value, then it would be better not to expect any additional DLC after the completion of Fighters Pass Vol. 2.
Masahiro Sakurai has repeatedly stated that the development of the Super Smash Bros. DLC. Ultimate will end after the release of Fighters Pass 2 content. “There are only five DLC fighters left,” Sakurai said during a Famitsu column released in July 2020 following the unveiling of Min Min. “After the release, Smash’s ongoing development of Smash for the 3DS and Wii U will finally be completed.”
This was apparently reaffirmed during the video presentation “Mr. “Sakurai Presents Pyra & Mythra” that preceded the release of Challenger Pack 9. “There are only two DLC fighters left,” Sakurai said. “That means there are only two more opportunities to bring you videos like this.”
For now, the safest way would be to simply take this rumor with a grain of salt. While more content for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is in the realm of possibilities, given the game’s sales, it’s important to dampen expectations if there’s nothing planned.
