Rumors suggest a new Super Smash Bros. game could release as early as 2027, according to YouTuber Kiwi Talkz, known for game developer interviews. He reports that series creator Masahiro Sakurai has started work on the next game after finishing his passion project, Kirby Air Riders, a racing sequel to the 2003 classic that launched last year. Sakurai was burned out after directing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and its DLC for many years, so he only agreed to return for another Smash game if Nintendo let him make the Kirby title first. These claims remain unconfirmed, as Nintendo has made no official announcement.
