Various rumors have been emerging talking about "Super Smash Bros. 6," which would be the latest entry that could come to the Nintendo Switch 2.
The claims talk about various details about the rumored game, such as new characters and even a potential release date. The recent discussions about "Super Smash Bros. 6" come shortly after Nintendo officially revealed its newest console.
Rumors of Super Smash Bros. 6
Fans also got some tidbits of information from Masahiro Sakurai, who is the creator of the "Smash Bros." franchise. He talked about how they were working on some secret game project since April 2022. He said that they were unwilling to delve into further details.
This is what a lot of players are starting to believe could be "Super Smash Bros. 6," or at least, the next entry in the series. So far, the only officially confirmed game for the Nintendo Switch 2 is the latest title for the "Mario Kart" franchise.
This was because the official reveal for the console featured some in-game footage of the title which a lot of right now are calling "Mario Kart 9." It is currently unknown whether Nintendi even has plans for a new "Smash Bros." game, according to Event Hubs.
While there is no official word on a new "Smash Bros." game, it is highly likely that there will be because the latest entry was the third best-selling game on the Nintendo Switch.
A lot of fans are also leaning on the idea that Sakurai's secret project is an upcoming title in the series.
Potential Returning and New Characters
Similar to all of his previous games, fans expect a number of leaks to come out until an official announcement is made. There was one video shared that seemed to indicate a new "Smash Bros." title is coming in the near future.
The leak from HungryBox was originally shared on 4Chan and later shared to Reddit on the r/GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit. Even the original poster of the Reddit thread said that it was "probably totally fake," Gaming Bible said.
The original leak talked about how "Super Smash Bros. 6" will be released in summer 2026 and is set to bring back the "full roster" of characters. However, it seems like some of them will have their movesets altered.
On top of bringing back original characters, the latest entry is rumored to feature new characters, such as Waluigi, Toon Zelda, Sol BadGuy, and Armorouge and Ceruledge from the "Pokemon" franchise, according to Comic Book.
