The Crazy ‘Last of Us’ Execution Spotted by a Fan Is Something You Definitely Missed
Given the fans love the game to this extent, it’s only fair they know what the future has in store for Smash Bros. Is there a sequel in sight? Only the devs can answer those questions.
Talking to a media house about Ultimate, Super Smash Bros. created and director, Masahiro Sakurai, revealed, “can’t say with certainty that this would be the end of Smash.” But this does not necessarily solidify the chances of a sequel. Speaking on the next title’s aspect Sakurai said, “nothing thinking of a sequel,” as reported by ComicBook.
This essentially leads the franchise nowhere. Unfortunately, even Sakurai isn’t too sure if they will take the franchise ahead. With this said, it must also be noted Sakurai’s words are translations of the original interview.

The creator-director also weighed in on his future with the series and said, “I need to think whether I must release a Smash game or not, even if I have to do something that would disappoint users.” He also goes on to disclose he parted ways with the franchise earlier. But as many expected, “it didn’t go well.”
Sakurai even suggests he will have to give the massive decision a lot of thought and sit with Nintendo to plan things out.
