Super Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai Reveals Challenges in Expanding the Franchise Further

Developing a Game Beyond Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Monumental Success Poses a Daunting Task, Says Sakurai

 

Given the remarkable scope of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, coupled with its intricate single-player campaign, it’s understandable that Sakurai and the development team would grapple with the idea of surpassing this pinnacle. Sakurai shared his thoughts, stating, “As for what comes next for the Smash Bros. series, even I’m not sure. I feel like we truly succeeded in making people happy with this game, but now that Smash Bros. has grown to be monstrous in size, I’d say it’s difficult to imagine an increase of this magnitude happening again.”
