While these four will be featured in the Arena Finals, all nine games are part of the Evo 2022 Main Stage lineup. Of course, if you prefer some of the more specialized and rare tournaments, there are always side events. All of They fight against the herds and soulcalibur at Katherine can usually find a place to compete.
The real king of fighters
Evo 2022 will be a big year for Evo as it returns under new ownership. While there was Evo Online, this will be the first in-person Evo since the tournament series was jointly acquired by Sony and RTS.
So far, that hasn’t meant that much has changed. Super Smash Bros. won’t be part of the main line of games this year, although the statement reads as if it were Nintendo’s choice.
Street Fighter 6 will however be exposed and open to competitors to test them. I personally hope there is a way to catch show matches or something over the weekend. We can probably expect some fighting game news this weekend as well, as tradition dictates.
Evo 2022 will take place August 5-7 at the Mandalay Bay resort in Las Vegas.
