Nintendo has announced a Sora amiibo, featuring the Kingdom Hearts protagonist as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The company also dated The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom figures and the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 duo.
Finally, the time has come, and no, you aren’t seeing things. Nintendo’s Sora amiibo is the real deal, as revealed in today’s direct, and will launch in 2024. For his Switch figure, Sora sports his original Kingdom Hearts look, just as he does in Smash. He’ll look perfectly out of place next to your Sephiroth and Cloud amiibo on the shelf.
The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom also got an update on its figures. Both Zelda and Ganondorf make their debut on November 3, 2023.
Finally, Nintendo announced new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 amiibo launch on January 19, 2024. The next duo features another pair to collect, this time with Noah and Mio. They’re another 2-pack, just like Pyra and Mythra from back in July.
Even if you aren’t really itching to get your hands on a Sora amiibo, the latest Nintendo Direct showed off quite a few surprises. Games like Trace Memory saw an enhanced port announcement, and Super Mario RPG showed off new footage. Quite a big day for older games making a return to strut their stuff on the Switch.
For a full list of characters, including the Sora amiibo, we gave full lineup readily available.
Update – The next wave of amiibo are up for pre-order – except Sora
The second round of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo, as well as the Noah and Mio amiibo, have gone up for pre-order at multiple retailers in the US. That includes Best Buy and GameStop.
The Sora amiibo is not available for pre-order at the time of this update. Typically retailers provide online pre-orders for figures that have a release date, and with Sora’s “TBA 2024” window, we’ll need to wait a while until that comes into focus.
