Evo Japan Will Host Tekken 7, Arms, And More Next January
Although this year's Evo is coming to a close later tonight, there's already a couple more in the works. Not only will Evo itself return next year, but we can also expect Evo Japan, which will bring the event outside of the United States for the first time, next January.
The event's lineup will consist mostly of what you'd expect from a major fighting game tournament: Tekken 7, Guilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2, The King of Fighters XIV, BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Super Smash Bros. For Wii U, and Street Fighter V. The tournament will also include Arms, Nintendo's long-range, springy fighter. This will mark the game's Evo debut (though it's likely to be at other major fighting game tournaments before then).
The event will take place From January 26 to 28. You can watch the latest trailer for the event below.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
