It’s fair to say that the Evolution Championship Series, more commonly known as “Evo”, returned in grand style this weekend. Evo 2022 saw Guilty Gear Strive, Street Fighter V, DNF Duel, Dragon Ball FighterZ, The King of Fighters XV, MultiVersus, and many, many other scrappers take to stage and stream in global fashion, as players from all over the world gathered at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in their respective efforts to lay claim to being The Best of The Best.
And, against the backdrop of this utterly electrifying cacophony of violence, the biggest fighting game developers and publishers also took the opportunity to share with their fans exciting news, details, and updates pertaining to their current, upcoming, and (in some cases), former fighting game releases.
And so, for those of you who couldn’t quite handle the red eyes of staying up until the wee hours of the morning, here’s a brief rundown of all of the fighting game news from this year’s tournament, which saw a veritable banquet of character reveals, tech upgrades, new releases, and obscure teasers to keep the fists ‘n’ feet flying well into 2023 and beyond.
Evo 2022 has come to a close.
Thank you to all of our participants, viewers, and partners who have made Evo's return to in-person competition unforgettable.
