The game was first announced in 2018 by Masahiro Sakurai, but development for the game was significantly delayed to start by September 8, 2020.
Prior to the release of Smashpoint, there was a series of twenty-four games made in Nintendo's collaboration with Bandai Namco, Capcom, SEGA, Square-Enix and Konami, called Countdown to Smashpoint. The events of the games within Countdown were leading up all the way to the next Super Smash Bros. game itself.
It was confirmed in February 6, 2020 that Sam Imbecile will collaborate with Hideaki Anno to write the plot for the new Story Mode in the coming Smashpoint game.

As of February 2022, nine months before the game's release, it was reported that were already 100 characters confirmed to appear as playable characters, including all of the characters that previously appeared in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
==Plot==
The canonical events of the game follow the storyline of the Story Mode: Final Wars: Convergence.
In the aftermath of the events of the The Subspace Emissary, an unknown crisis is sweeping across the Multiverse, consuming world after world out of existence. In the midst of the multidimensional chaos, a mysterious figure only as the Hero of Earth-Prime, who had escaped his home universe that was being destroyed, finds himself stranded onto the desert landscape of planet Chronos, along with Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, Mega Man and Pac-Man. They encounter what appears to be Master Hand, but is later revealed that this character is Chronos, the master of time and space, an envoy of Master Hand and the living embodiment of the planet who awaits his master's return. Prior to the events of the game, just as the heroes were about to be destroyed by Master Core, they were transported to Chronos, where Master Hand, who assimilated his incarnations from across the Multiverse, has captured and stored many cities from across the entire history of the Multiverse, spanning various eras and worlds of Nintendo's various video games and publishing history. After skirmishing with the heroes and wondering what purpose his master envisioned for this world, Chronos enacts a plan to make the captive heroes and villains of the Multiverse fight each other for supremacy. This becomes known as the Smashpoint Crisis Tournament.
