The Phantom Thieves are breaking into Smash: Joker revealed as DLC

The song says “You’ll never see it coming,” and they were right! At tonight’s Game Awards, the famous red envelope from the Persona 5 Phantom Thieves appeared onscreen, announcing the protagonist Joker as one of five new fighters in the first Challenger Pack DLC for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate.

Reggie said to expect “something special” from Nintendo at The Game Awards, and it’s safe to say they definitely stole some hearts! You can watch the reveal trailer below.
