During the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct on June 11, 2019 (PST), the heroes of ''Dragon Quest'' were announced as DLC fighters for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', set to release during the summer of 2019 (PST) as the second Fighters Pass fighter (as well as the third downloadable fighter overall), included within Challenger Pack 2. Eleven is the default skin for the character, while Arusu, Solo, and Eight can be chosen as alternative costumes.

In Hero's reveal trailer, Link is shown dueling puppet fighters of [[Marth]] and [[Meta Knight]], both of whom were created by [[Dharkon]]. Link is overpowered by both puppet fighters, who prepare to rush him for a final hit. However, throughout their battle, a horse is galloping towards Link and the puppet fighters. When the Marth and Meta Knight puppet fighters are about to attack Link one more time, the Hero - revealed to be Eleven - attacks from behind, knocking away the puppet fighters from Link. Several gameplay clips of Eleven are shown: Eleven is KOing opponents at first, but is later KO'd himself several times. The gameplay cuts back to CGI, showing Dharkon's puppet fighter army cornering a weakened Eleven. Arusu, Solo, and Eight join to assist Eleven, where all four Heroes rush towards the puppet fighter army. Gameplay footage of all four Heroes is shown, where they all work together to KO their opponents. The Hero's trailer ends with Arusu using his Final Smash.
