Big news for fighting game fans
Evo Japan–the Eastern equivalent of America’s largest fighting game tournament–took place over the weekend, with games like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Guilty Gear Strive, and more taking the spotlight. Along with the action, multiple fighting game developers provided updates for fans, which ranged from a first look at new characters to a full roadmap of content.
This gallery is a collection of the biggest news coming out of Evo Japan. Four games had a new character added to their rosters–two of them are set to launch next month–while another detailed a list of updates coming in its first season of content. With everything announced at Evo Japan and with Evo 2024 in Las Vegas a few short months away, the FGC will have plenty to sink its teeth into in their fighting games of choice for the foreseeable future.
