On October 5, 2021, Sora was announced to be the last DLC character releasing for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', set to release on October 18, 2021. He is set to also be releasing alongside his home stage [[Hollow Bastion]]. According to Sakurai in Sora's reveal trailer, Sora was the real winner of the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot back in 2015 for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''; though the contest concluded with [[Bayonetta]] being added to the game, Sakurai stated that this was because Sora was not considered a realistic option at the time.<ref name=Sora>Nintendo (October 5, 2021).

Sora is a lightweight character who possesses a unique midair jump; ascending a further distance in a curved trajectory in a similar manner to [[Ness]] or [[Mewtwo]]. If Sora wins a stamina battle, the screen will zoom in and slowly fade to white - a reference to the victory animation that occurs when defeating a boss in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series.
 
All of Sora's alternate costumes are based on each of his outfits in the series. While the default one is from the first ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', the second one is from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts II|Kingdom Hearts II]]'', third from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and fourth from ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts III|Kingdom Hearts III]]''. The rest are various forms of him from the games; the fifth, sixth and seventh are the [[khwiki:Timeless River|Timeless River]] form, the [[khwiki:Valor Form|Valor Form]] and [[khwiki:Wisdom Form|Wisdom Form]] from ''Kingdom Hearts II'' respectively, and the eighth and last is the [[khwiki:Ultimate Form|Ultimate Form]] from ''Kingdom Hearts III''.
