A new entry in Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros series might be on the horizon. A well-known source suggests it could drop as early as next year. Fans have been buzzing ever since the game’s creator, Masahiro Sakurai, hinted at a potential return.
Sakurai took a brief retirement, launching a YouTube channel focused on game development. He made it clear that he feels a new Smash Bros game can’t happen without his influence. This gave fans hope that Nintendo will soon announce another title.
After dipping back into game creation with Kirby Air Riders, Sakurai has remained tight-lipped. However, Reece ‘Kiwi Talkz’ Reilly claims he has been hard at work on a new Smash title. Exciting news, right?
In a recent post on X, Reilly shared that both Nintendo and Rockstar have significant projects lined up for the coming years. He noted, “These are my four favorite game franchises, and I’m thrilled to know all four have new content coming soon.” His predictions include GTA 6 this November, a new Metroid game, and the next Smash Bros game within the next couple of years.
Reilly didn’t dive deep into the new Smash title but mentioned he may share more details soon. When asked if he had confirmed information, he simply replied, “of course.”
Many fans are already speculating what the new game might look like. Options like a “Switch 2” edition of Smash Ultimate or a remake of older titles like Melee are on the table, adding to the excitement.
Previously, Reilly hinted that Sakurai agreed to return for a new Smash only after working on Kirby Air Riders first. Industry experts respect Sakurai’s role in shaping these games, especially when it comes to negotiating with third-party developers.
As for the roster, not much has been revealed. Super Smash Bros Ultimate showcased every character from past games while introducing new favorites like Sephiroth and Sora. Fans are eager to see which fighters return or debut in this next installment.
Whether the upcoming game will be a deluxe version of Ultimate or a full revamp remains to be seen. One thing is clear—the anticipation is building, and fans can hardly wait for what’s next.
