Dante will be released as a DLC {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} costume on June 29th, 2021, alongside [[Kazuya Mishima]], with his design being based on the first ''Devil May Cry'' game. Dante is wielding the Alastor, one of the many swords usable in the game. In the costume's trailer, the Dante Mii is shown using [[Gale Stab]], a clear reference to [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Stinger Stinger], one of his most iconic moves. The Dante Mii is then seen fighting [[Piranha Plant]], possibly referencing [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Echidna Echidna], a plant-like boss from ''Devil May Cry 4'', using [[Stone Scabbard]] on it, this one referencing two of his most commonly used attacks from the ''Devil May Cry'' series, [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Rebellion#Movesets High Time] for the initial launch and [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Rebellion#Movesets Helm Breaker] for the downward stab. The trailer then shows the Dante Mii fighting Dark Samus, possibly as a reference to [https://devilmaycry.fandom.com/wiki/Doppelganger Doppelganger] from ''Devil May Cry 3'', as both it and [[Dark Samus]] serve as evil doppelgangers of Dante and Samus, respectively.
Dante was released as a DLC {{SSBU|Mii Swordfighter}} costume on June 29th, 2021, alongside [[Kazuya Mishima]]. The design of the Mii Costume is largely based on his appearance in the first ''Devil May Cry'' game, though the wig is closer in design to his hairstyle in ''Devil May Cry 5''.
