Byleth is scheduled to be added on January 28. The DLC pack also adds a map for Garreg Mach monastery, as well as eleven music tracks. Coinciding with the arrival of this DLC is the addition of more Mii costumes, including one for Cuphead!

This time, there'll be six characters, who are all scheduled to be added by the end of 2021. All of the fighters have already been determined, so begging for any additional characters isn't going to change who gets picked. As for who the next wave is composed of, we'll just have to wait and see.
