EVO
Japan 2023 Lineup Adds 3 New Games
|
|
|
|
 Back
in August, it was announced
that EVO Japan will return as a live event early next year, taking
place March 31st through April 2nd, 2023.
EVO manager Rick
Thiher previously announced 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.
Three more games have now been
confirmed for EVO Japan '23, bringing the total number of mainstage titles
to seven. The three new EVO Japan 2023 tournament games are Virtua
Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown, Granblue
Fantasy Versus, and Melty Blood: Type Lumina. In addition
to displaying what might be the "final" games list, the latest EVO Japan 2023 promotional
image (below) confirms registration will officially open up later this month on November
20th, 2022 (12:00 JST).

*While these seven
games are the "major" titles that will appearing on the EVO
Japan 2023 mainstage and streaming to audiences worldwide, there's still a
chance that additional titles could be added to the lineup in the months
to come. Capcom has not yet confirmed if a Street
Fighter 6 exhibition or tournament will take place at EVO Japan
'23.
Back in August of this year, EVO manager Rick Thiher had this to say about
EVO Japan returning as a live event... "It is joyous having EVO Japan return to Tokyo for the global
fighting game community," said Thiher. "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." Once
again, below is the official EVO Japan 2023 teaser trailer.

The
first ever 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 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 final major fighting game tournaments
before the COVID-19 pandemic put live events on a hiatus.
Additional
information and details are available on the EVO Japan official
site. Once again, the link to register for the tournament will
go live two weeks from now on Sunday, November
20th, 2022 (12:00 JST). As always, please stay tuned on Fighters
Generation for upcoming fighting game news and announcements!
