EVO
Japan Returns to Tokyo in Spring 2023
|
|
|
|
 It's
been officially announced that EVO Japan will return as a live event next
year, taking place in Tokyo between March and April 2023. EVO manager Rick
Thiher confirmed EVO Japan 2023's main tournament games will include TEKKEN 7, Guilty
Gear -STRIVE-, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, and The
King of Fighters XV. The event organizers mentioned they will be announcing
additional tournament games and details in Fall 2022. Next year's EVO Japan
will take place March 31st - April 2nd, 2023 at the
Tokyo Big Sight venue featuring competitors from around the world. Below
is the official teaser trailer for EVO Japan
'23.

The
first inaugural EVO Japan event took place back in January 2018. EVO Japan
is the first and only Evolution Championship Series event taking place
outside of the USA. Like this past weekend's EVO 2022 in Las Vegas,
Nevada, EVO
Japan 2023 will be the tournament's first live event since the 2020 global
pandemic. EVO Japan 2020 was one of the last major fighting game tournaments
before the COVID-19 pandemic put live events on a hiatus.
"It is joyous having EVO Japan return to Tokyo for the global
fighting game community," said Rick Thiher, EVO General Manager.
"Japan is the birthplace of competitive fighting games and we can’t
wait to open the doors at Tokyo Big Sight next spring to continue
celebrating their legacy with players and fans worldwide."

The official website
for EVO Japan 2023 is now live and will be updated with more information
later this year. The organizers also recently launched @EVOJapan2023 on Twitter
and their official Youtube
channel.
Like the main
EVO tournament in Las Vegas, developers of featured games at EVO Japan
have announced major news and reveals during the event in past years. It's
likely the 2023 live event from Japan will bring along major
announcements, as well. Stay tuned on Fighters Generation
for more fighting game news!
