Patch 1.2.0 for Kirby Air Riders is rolling out, addressing event issues and enhancing balance. However, Masahiro Sakurai has reiterated that no downloadable content (DLC) is planned, stating, "Everything is here." This could mean just one more patch in the future as the team disbands.

Sakurai’s statement hints at an intriguing direction for future projects. With Bandai Namco’s involvement in Kirby Air Riders, speculation arises about a new Super Smash Bros. for the Switch 2. Despite the team’s dissolution, Sakurai suggested he could prioritize another Smash Bros. title if commissioned, as he has historically collaborated with various studios.

Mientras Super Smash Bros. Ultimate remains a benchmark, with over 36.55 million copies sold, Sakurai emphasizes that he approaches development as if each game could be the last. As fans eagerly await news, it may take years to discover whether a new Smash Bros. installment or entirely different project is on the horizon.
