Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is celebrating its 5th anniversary today, 7th December 2023, and we’re publishing a handful of pieces to celebrate. Here, we’ll be discussing the future of the Smash series — what’s next? Is there even a next? And where do we think Sakurai will be involved?
It’s hard to believe that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is five years old. It’s one of the defining games of the Nintendo Switch, and along with its incredible roster of characters, stages, music — basically everything — it’s easily one of the best fighting games ever. At least, in our humble opinion.
But, five years down the line, and two years after the final Fighter Pass character in Sora, it’s time to ask the question: What is next for Super Smash Bros.? The series’ creator, Masahiro Sakurai — who now has his own YouTube channel — has said that he’s not sure whether future Smash games will ever match Ultimate’s scope. And with good reason, because Ultimate is bursting at the seams.
So, what is next for Smash? Is it over? Will it get smaller? Or will it go down a very different route? Three of our lovely writers have got together to discuss the future of Super Smash Bros.
Ready? … Go! And read our thoughts on what’s next for this seminal fighting game series.
