Patch 1.2.0 for カービィのエアライダー 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 カービィのエアライダー, speculation arises about a new 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ 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.

その間 大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ SPECIAL 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.
