Super Smash Bros. Creator’s Next Game Has Been in Development Since April 2022, Will be Announced “Sooner or Later”

As a hardcore gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that the news about Masahiro Sakurai’s new project has me on tenterhooks! Having grown up with the Super Smash Bros. series and seen its evolution through the years, I find myself eagerly anticipating what the mastermind behind these games is cooking up next.


It’s now six years since the debut of “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate”, and three years have passed since its last DLC was released, sparking curiosity about Masahiro Sakurai’s upcoming project. Although specifics are yet to be revealed, Sakurai has acknowledged that he is indeed working on a new project, providing some hints about its development duration.

Sakurai recently uploaded a video to his YouTube channel. Meant as the channel’s final upload, the video also touches on the next project Sakurai and his team at Sora Ltd. 

According to Sakurai, he drafted the plan for his upcoming project back in July 2021, and by October of the same year, the project was approved. However, he planned to start the development process in April 2022, explaining that he needed time to gather a suitable team. As he mentioned, the game’s production began as scheduled, which means it has been under development for about two and a half years now.

Information about the game’s nature remains sparse, as discussed earlier. Speculation swirls around whether it will be another installment of the beloved _Super Smash Bros._ series or a completely fresh concept. Needless to say, everyone is intrigued by this mystery, and it would be exciting to discover its final shape if it’s indeed a new _Super Smash Bros._ game.

Regardless of the specifics, Sakurai mentioned in the video that the title’s announcement is forthcoming, so we should expect further details on the project soon.
