After a hiatus of over two years, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate received a significant update with version 13.0.2. This update, released on Valentine's Day, introduced compatibility for the Sora Amiibo, just in time for its upcoming launch. However, players hoping for additional changes in the patch notes will be disappointed as the focus was solely on the Sora Amiibo.

Despite this being the first major content update in a while, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate continues to engage players with fresh content. The game has recently rolled out new Spirit events, allowing players to collect Spirits featuring characters from games like Hades and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Fans can look forward to more Spirits being added to the game post the 13.0.2 update.

The latest update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate may have been modest in size, but it was significant. Released on Valentine's Day, version 13.0.2 exclusively focused on adding compatibility for the Sora Amiibo. Players need to update their game by connecting to the internet. Notably, this update follows the major 13.0.1 balance patch that was released after Sora joined the game as the final DLC character.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 13.0.2 Update Highlights (February 2024)

• Enhanced compatibility for the upcoming Sora Amiibo release.

The Sora Amiibo figure is set to launch on February 16, available at various retailers worldwide for $15.99. Just like other compatible Amiibo figures, Sora can be used as a fighter character in casual battles, leveling up to 50 to compete against players and other Amiibo fighters. Given Sora's popularity, fans of Kingdom Hearts and Super Smash Bros. are eager to get their hands on this unique Amiibo figure.

With news of Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai stepping back from YouTube, speculations arise about his potential return to game development. Whether his next project involves a new installment of Super Smash Bros. or an entirely different venture remains to be seen.
