Super Smash Bros. Starlight

Super Smash Bros. Starlight is a crossover action fighting game released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch's successor on October 27th 2026. The game was first revealed in a Nintendo Direct presentation in June 2025 and is the sixth installment in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Super Smash Bros. Starlight is the first entry in the series not to be directed by Masahiro Sakurai following his retirement, with developer CollectorOfStars taking the reigns and leading development. Early development was a collaboration between Sakurai and CollectorOfStars, with the goal of producing a fresh take on the Super Smash Bros. series after Super Smash Bros. Ultimate released almost eight years prior. Starlight does not feature all returning characters and stages from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, acting as a soft reboot of the series with a focus on refining the roster and series represented, updating veteran fighters to the standard of Ultimate's newcomers, and providing new and refreshing game modes and fighting mechanics not present in earlier iterations of the franchise.

Super Smash Bros. Starlight is the first game in the series since Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U to cut characters from the previous game's roster. Most notably, almost all third-party characters were cut from Ultimate's roster, with most newcomers being first-party characters.
