The Hero is planned to be released in Summer 2019 along with one stage and several music tracks from the Dragon Quest series as part of Challenger Pack 2.
The four iterations of the Hero are,

- Solo: The male protagonist from Dragon Quest IV.
- Eight: The protagonist of Dragon Quest VIII.

- The protagonist of Dragon Quest I.
- The protagonist of Dragon Quest II.
- The protagonist of Dragon Quest IV.
- The protagonist of Dragon Quest V.
- The protagonist of Dragon Quest VI.
- The protagonist of Dragon Quest VII.
- The male protagonist of Dragon Quest IX.
- The male protagonist of Dragon Quest X.
Trivia
- Due to Dragon Quest XI being released in July 2017, the Hero (Eleven) is the most recently debuted character in the Super Smash Bros. series.
- The Hero is the second playable third-party character owned by Square Enix, the first being Cloud.
- Also, Cloud and the Hero each represent one of the two companies that merged in Square Enix, as Cloud was from Square Soft and the Hero was from Enix.
- The Hero is the first and only character in the Super Smash Bros. series to simultaneously originate from both a Nintendo console (Nintendo 3DS) and a non-Nintendo console (PlayStation 4).
- He is the first playable third-party character whose alternate costumes replace his model with a different character.
- While several characters are given generic names (namely, Villager, Pokémon Trainer, and Inkling) because of the ambiguity of their name in their own universe (owing to the fact that the player can decide their name), the Hero instead chooses not to use any given name (despite three of them having official names in Dragon Quest media) and use the generic title of "Hero" instead, unlike Bowser Jr..
- This makes them the only third party characters with this trait.
- Erdrick and Solo are the only characters that don't have an opposite gender alternate costume in Ultimate, but can change gender in their own games.
- The Hero is the second known third-party avatar-based character in Super Smash Bros., the first being Joker.
- The Hero is the first and only playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series whose Japanese name is written entirely with kanji.
