New amiibo alert: Kazuya and Sephiroth join the roster in 2023
If you’re an amiibo fan – and who amongst us isn’t – you’ll be pleased to know that Nintendo has lined up a few models for release in the new year. It all starts very soon, too, with both Tekken’s Kazuya and Final Fantasy’s Sephiroth hitting shelves in January.
The news came just last week via Nintendo. In case you missed it, here’s what’s we can expect.
These latest amiibo belong to the Super Smash Bros. series of toys-to-life models, bringing two DLC fighters – namely Kazuya and Sephiroth – to the fold. Tekken fans will immediately recognize Kazuya Mishima from Bandai Namco’s famed fighting series. He made his way to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster in 2021 via the Fighter’s Pass Vol. 2 DLC.
Meanwhile, the dark Sephiroth hails from Final Fantasy VII. He debuted in the RPG series in 1997 as the antagonistic opposite to hero Cloud. He was the third character from the Fighter’s Pass Vol. 2 to come to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, joining the team in 2020.
You can pre-order Kazuya and Sephiroth now ahead of the January 13 release date.
But wait, there’s more! In case that’s not enough amiibo for you, the good news is that a further two have also been announced, with Xenoblade’s Pyra and Mythra set to join the long list of characters sometime in 2023. While no release date has been officially announced just yet, it certainly gives us something to look forward to.
Will you be adding the Kazuya and Sephiroth amiibo to your collection? Let us know your thoughts on the latest additions.
You can also hear us discuss our own amiibo addictions on the Pure Nintendo Podcast each week!
Super Smash Bros. #amiibo for DLC fighters Kazuya and Sephiroth will be released on 13/01/23. Pre-order at select retailers, or pre-purchase via My Nintendo Store now!
Plus, look forward to the release of Pyra and Mythra in 2023!
