Yes, we probably will get a Sora amiibo. But at the time of writing, we’re in a somewhat strange situation. In October 2021, the final fighter Sora was added to the game. Interestingly enough, Figure Players for Min Min, Steve, and Sephiroth were added in alongside him. There’s already something strange there: the Sephiroth amiibo currently hasn’t been announced but was added alongside Min Min and Steve, who have been announced (but don’t have a formal release date). Could this mean Sephiroth’s amiibo figure will eventually release alongside Min Min and Steve early next year?

Stranger still is last night’s update, which added amiibo files for Pyra, Mythra, and Kazuya. Why did they add Min Min, Steve, and Sephiroth in the Sora update rather than last night’s patch? It’s likely because the developers don’t plan to update Ultimate again until after these amiibo figures are officially released — whenever that winds up being. This means, then, that Sora is the only character in the game whose amiibo file is not currently available outside of modding your Switch.
