Super Smash Bros lead Masahiro Sakurai says “there’s no way” he can talk about what he’s working on

Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., declined to reveal what he is currently working on, saying there was “no way” he could discuss it. His deliberately brief answer has prompted fan speculation, but it does not confirm that a new game is in development or identify what the project might be.

Fans have guessed at a new Super Smash Bros. or a return to Kid Icarus, among other possibilities. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was released almost eight years ago and is playable on Switch 2, but has not received a dedicated enhanced edition for that console. Sakurai’s most recent game was a follow-up to Kirby Air Ride; he said he is still working at full throttle.
