Persona 5's protagonist Joker was revealed to be joining the roster of Nintendo's acclaimed fighter next year as the 76th roster member in a paid DLC update.

You can either buy Joker individually or purchase the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Pass, which promises five new fighters each with their own stage and music.
