Earlier this week Nintendo brought forward the next DLC character planned forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatein the form ofMinecraft’s Steve and Alex. But the short reveal left a lot of information left to be confirmed. But nowSuper Smash Bros. Ultimategame director Masahiro Sakurai has taken the time to confirm some important details. For example, Steve and Alex will be available starting October 13.
Sakurai also confirmed the pricing for the upcomingMinecraftDLC. Challenger Pack 7 forMinecraft’s Steve and Alex can be purchased for $5.99 when it launches on October 13. Those who have already purchasedSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Fighters Pass Vol. 2 will have Steve and Alex automatically unlock as soon as the DLC launches.

WhenSmash Bros.players purchase Challenger Pack 7, they won’t just acquireSteve and Alex, of course. Much like all of the previous Challenger Packs, Nintendo is packing it to the brim with new content. Steve and Alex each have three total skins to swap between. There are also Zombie and Enderman skins available for the character, too. It doesn’t seem like the Zombie or Enderman have alternate skins, however.
As usual, a brand new stage name Minecraft World will also be included in the Challenger Pack. Minecraft World is special, much like other DLC stages. Nintendo’s gone the extra mile and provided 6 alternative biomes for Minecraft World, much like spawning anew world seed inMinecraftitself. There will be Plains, Birch Forest, Savanna, Taiga, Snowy Tundra, and finally Stone Shore versions of the map. Each is unique in its own way, too. Minecraft World will also have its own Battlefield and Omega form, though they’ll be limited to just the Plains Biome.
Finally, Nintendo confirms that Challenger Pack 7 will also include a variety ofDLC Spirits to battle, a Steve route in Classic Mode, and 7 new music tracks to listen to. The Challenger Pack 7 DLC is full of newMinecraftcontent for fans both new and old.
Those who may have been hoping for a different DLC character to be announced forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimateneed not worry yet. There are still four more DLC character confirmed to be coming to the game as part of theFighters Pass Vol. 2. So far, only Min Min and Steve/Alex have been confirmed, so there are lots of surprises remaining. Expect to hear more in the months to come.
