Sephiroth is set to release in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as the third fighter of Fighters Pass Vol. 2, following [[Min Min]] and [[Steve (Minecraft)|Steve]]. During {{wp|The Game Awards 2020|The Game Awards}} held on December 10, 2020, he was announced as the fighter for Challenger Pack 8, which is set to be released later that month.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPxcE1dMqL8</ref> 

The reveal trailer for Sephiroth takes place during the events of the adventure game mode, World of Light, emerging during a fight between various characters and [[Galeem]] and several [[Master Hand]]s. Unlike all of the other characters in-game, he is the only playable character that seems to not join forces with the cast; however, he cuts Galeem in half right before his appearance, seemingly being against both separate parties. [[Cloud Strife]] recognizes Sephiroth as his archenemy upon his appearance, referencing their prior encounter in ''Final Fantasy VII''. After brief gameplay footage, Sephiroth is seen attempting to stab through [[Mario]] (a reference to his actions towards Cloud during the Nibelheim Incident flashback in the original game as well as a similar action in their duel in ''Advent Children Complete''), which is then interrupted by Cloud and the two begin swordfighting.
