Smash Bros. Mod Project M No Longer in Development

Super Smash Bros. Mod Project M No Longer in Development Moving on to "bigger and better ventures." By Alex Osborn

The development team behind Project M has announced it will no longer be working on its popular mod for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

"We’ve learned so much in the process of making Project M. but there’s only so far we can take those skills in a volunteer project," the dev team explained on post on the mod's official site. "With this in mind, we’ve made a difficult business decision: We’re ready to finish development here and move on to bigger and better ventures."

While support for Project M has ceased, that's not the end for the team. "In the mean time, we plan to be hard at work on new projects, built from the ground up," the post adds. "We can’t spill the beans just yet, but know that we’re looking towards a fresh start with brand new designs."

Project M was created by over 50 volunteers with the aim of providing a more technically-focused version of Brawl that was in line with its more balanced and competive-minded GameCube predecessor, Super Smash Bros. Melee. It even added a Skyloft-themed stage based on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
