A new DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been reportedly leaked, and it looks to be Erdrick from Dragon Quest.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the latest entry in the popular Nintendo fighting game franchise, and has become an instant hit the video game community. However, even though the game is just a tad over a week in terms of its time being released to the public, Nintendo has already confirmed the first DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to be Joker from Persona 5 in a truly unexpected reveal trailer at The Game Awards 2018. Now, the second of the new DLC characters that will be coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been reportedly leaked, and it looks as though Nintendo could possibly be adding another character no one saw coming in Erdrick from Dragon Quest

According to a report by Persona Central, a leak stating that Joker from Persona 5 and Erdrick from Dragon Quest would be two of the new DLC characters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate surfaced on the Japanese text board of 5channel. While a leak of this nature would usually be dismissed by many players, the official reveal of Joker from Persona 5 as one of the new DLC characters at The Game Awards 2018 has given much more weight to the leak and the status of Erdrick of Dragon Quest as a potential DLC character for the popular game.

With Nintendo having shown that it is not afraid to bring in characters from all over the video game world to the vast roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, highlighted by the reveal of Joker from Persona 5 as one of the new DLC characters, the addition of Erdrick from the popular Square Enix franchise of Dragon Quest would certainly fit right in.
