Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Super Smash Bros series, has been working on a mysterious new game for two years

  • Sakurai's Work:

  • Developed Super Smash Bros titles from 1999 to 2018.

  • Semi-retired in 2023 but continues work on his YouTube channel.

  • Created content with a cost of $600,000 and over 520 episodes released since October 2022.

  • Project Details:

  • Worked on it from April 2022..

  • Currently in development but still no official announcement released by Sakurai.

What do you think the new game might be? Could it be a new Super Smash Bros title or perhaps something else entirely for the Switch 2?

A lot of times when translating articles, and going for click bait headlines, things get mangled. I was searching for where Sakurai may have said he was not making another smash game, and I can't find anything like that. On the contrary, I am seeing articles saying things like he can't see another smash game happening without his involvement: https://www.si.com/esports/fgc/new-super-smash-bros-game-sakurai

But regardless, it's easy to get burned out on something and feel like you never want to touch it again. Then a few years later your feelings on the matter change. It's happened to me. Doesn't mean someone "is full of shit".
