Additional information that were not shown in the last video includes a VR mode in the document, years before the {{uvm|Nintendo Labo}} existed. In the end, he says he is unsure of the series' future, though there could be a next installment of the series with less content in general than ''Ultimate''. After being inactive for two years, new info were published on the internet in its fifth anniversary announcing the resume of maintenance for the game, with new events starting January 2024. Slightly earlier, Bandai Namco has also created [[Studio 2 & Studio S]]; a subsidiary company working with Nintendo, with the latter seemingly composed of the team who worked on the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series since ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. While active development on ''Ultimate'' has seemingly restarted since the introduction of these new events, the scale of development and how long this period will last is currently unclear.
