Fans and players can expect Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Guilty Gear Strive, and several other hit titles on the main stage. Last year's EVO saw the unveiling of new characters and gameplay, setting high expectations for similar announcements this year. The event has also moved to a larger venue at the Las Vegas Convention Center which will include three full days of matches and activities. Rick Thiher, General Manager of Evo, expressed excitement for the upcoming event, mentioning the increased venue size and the excitement surrounding the new era of fighting games.

Attendees and viewers can expect a packed lineup of top fighting games including Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8, with the potential for new game announcements and character reveals. The event boasts a larger venue for fans to enjoy casual play and booths alongside the main competition, promising an expanded and exciting experience.

EVO has evolved from a small gathering in arcades to the largest fighting game tournament in the world, often referred to as the "World Cup" of fighting games. Since its inception in the late '90s, EVO has played a crucial role in shaping the competitive fighting game scene and has been a platform for major announcements from developers. Its importance to the community is underscored by the variety of games it showcases, from long-standing series like Street Fighter to newer franchises, making it a central event for fighting game enthusiasts globally.
