EVO 2022 Announcement Show Airs
March 8th
|
|
|
|
 The
official Twitter account for Evolution Championship Series revealed that
an EVO 2022 announcement show will be airing Tuesday, March 8th
(5pm PST) on Twitch. The announcement (of the announcement) also confirmed
that Super Smash Bros. games will not be returning to EVO
this year. "Since 2007, we've seen historic Super Smash Bros.
moments created at Evo's events. We are saddened that Nintendo has chosen
not to continue that legacy with us this year. In the future, we hope to
once again celebrate the Super Smash Bros. community alongside them,"
the message reads.
It's possible and likely Nintendo's decision to withdraw from EVO going
forward has something to do with Sony's
recent acquisition of the brand. The EVO 2022 games lineup will be
revealed on March 8th at twitch.tv/evo.
EVO
returns to
Las
Vegas, Nevada
on
August 5th-7th,
