Currently, Sakurai is not working on anything fresh and urged fans to not wait for any updates from him. Neither a new entry in Super Smash Bros. series, nor any other game. So whatever comes next, it is going to take some time unless revealed otherwise by Sakurai himself. He also praised the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the amazing content they’ve released in 2021 in the interview.
