Smash Bros. Ultimate Director Will Continue To Work On DLC Remotely
Uncategorized Admin 07 Apr , 2020 0
Many video game companies, from Rockstar to Microsoft, have had to adopt remote work practices due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced many parts of the world into lockdown. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai has announced he is taking similar measures to continue working on the Switch fighting game.
On his Twitter account (as translated by Siliconera), Sakurai reveals that he'll be supervising work on Smash Bros. Ultimate remotely. Sakurai says this setup poses some difficulty as the game is a "high security project," but acknowledges that it is necessary given the circumstances.
In his column for Famitsu magazine last month, Sakurai noted that Smash Bros. Ultimate's DLC characters could be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "My plans to present new fighter proposal(s) to publisher(s) have been delayed indefinitely as I haven't been able to meet up with those involved," he wrote. Because of this, Sakurai said "there is the possibility we are not able to work on development as scheduled."
