On July 4, 2023, Twitter user ARTSWIFT explained that {{SSBU|Sora}} will receive an [[amiibo]] in the near future. Since the last presentation for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' in October 2021, there have been no official confirmation of this happening, nor has there been support of said amiibo in the latest update, version {{SSBU|13.0.1}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ArtswiftAmiibo/status/1676155194667859974|title=ARTSWIFT on Twitter|date=July 4, 2023|publisher=Twitter|accessdate=September 3, 2023|author=ARTSWIFT}}</ref> In the following weeks, new rumors were reported by numerous news outlets where restocks of amiibo will happen after August 2023 and will be released in waves,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nintendowire.com/news/2023/07/25/report-massive-amiibo-restock-on-the-way-according-to-retailer/|title=Report: Massive amiibo restock on the way according to retailer|date=July 25, 2023|publisher=Nintendo Wire|accessdate=September 4, 2023|author=Jason Ganos}}</ref> while restocks of ''Ultimate'' themed [[Nintendo GameCube controller]]s would later occur on August 6 in Japan.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.gonintendo.com/contents/23532-japan-sees-restock-on-the-super-smash-bros-ultimate-edition-gamecube-controller|title=Japan sees restock on the Super Smash Bros.

While a direct dedicated to ''{{iw|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. Wonder}}'' was published by Nintendo on August 31, 2023, a general direct where a Sora amiibo could realistically appear in has yet to be officially announced.

Throughout the first week of September, Nintendo hosted Nintendo Live 2023 in Seattle, Washington, which included ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' centric events with [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Squad Strike Challenge 2023]] on September 1 and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo + me Exhibition 2023]] on September 3. The latter tournament featured amiibo, but there were no announcement for Sora receiving one throughout the event.
