Sephiroth in Smash Ultimate: release date, update time and more

Super Smash Bros Ultimate Sephiroth Release Time

Sephiroth will be released in Super Smash Bros Ultimate on December 22 at 17 h HP / 20 h HE. You can get it by purchasing the Challenger Pack 8, which is included in the Fighters Pass Vol. 2. While it won't be officially released until next week, players who manage to complete the in-game Sephiroth challenge can unlock this new character right now.

The Sephiroth Challenge is a difficult battle accessible from the main game menu for a limited time. This challenge includes a one-on-one battle with Sephiroth himself on the new Norse Cave stage. There are three difficulty levels to choose from, but you can unlock it by beating it on any difficulty.

North cave stage

The Northern Cave scene will be recognized by Final Fantasy VII fans as one of the last locations in the original game. According to Sakurai, this step is the first in the game to tell a story with its visuals. There are a ton of Easter Eggs hidden in the background for Final Fantasy VII fans to spot during battles, and it's a fitting step for Sephiroth. He's included in the Challenger Pack 8 alongside Sephiroth, and a ton of new Final Fantasy Vii music tracks are included as well.

Every new music track in Final Fantasy VII

There are nine new Final Fantasy VII music tracks in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, bringing the total of Final Fantasy VII in-game tracks to 11 when you factor in the two songs that came with Cloud. Each new track is listed below and an asterisk indicates a new arrangement.

• Opening - Bombing mission *
• Those who fight (AC version)
• Those who fight more (AC version)
• Aerith Theme *
• Main theme of FINAL FANTASY VII *
• JENOVA
• Canyon du Cosmo *
• A winged angel
• Advent: Angel with one wing

Several basic elements of the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack that were missing when Cloud first came, like JENOVA and One-Winged Angel, are finally in the game. Sephiroth's sound selection is also very popular with Advent Children, which should appeal to die-hard fans of the series.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is now available on Nintendo Switch. Sephiroth will be available on December 22, but you can unlock it early if you can beat the Sephiroth challenge.
