Really feels like we are about to enter the next era of fighting games and the FGC at large.

Hype!

 

[Astroroom]

next Netherrealm game finally?

 

[Mar Tuuk]

Please give us One Piece FighterZ

 

[Izanagi89]

WB is probably there for MultiVersus

 

[J-Skee]

Riot not on that list 😭

I know there's like a 95% chance Project L will be there, I'm just impatient & wanna know now lol.

 

[ArmoredArmed]

Let fucking go!

WB: A new game finally

NRS will likely wait for The Game Awards. The mainstream audience doesn't usually pay attention to EVO, & WB Games is likely only there for MultiVersus news.

Surely an announcement or two will be there

 

[Stowaway Silfer]

EVO snuck up on me. Gonna be a good weekend
Hoping for Project L too.

 

[mrmickfran]

ASW: Strive character (Jam PLEASE)
Capcom: SFVI gameplay, new character
WB: A new game finally
SNK: New KofXV character
Bandai Namco: Tekken 8? Zoro in Soul Calibur????

Please give us One Piece FighterZ

Click to shrink...

FUCK YES

 

[Lulu]

The Canons still run Evo, right?

 

[Raigor]

Click to shrink...

No, Multiversus announcement.

MK is way bigger than EVO and The Game Awards is the perfect venue for it.

 

[Papertoonz]

yeah no real surprise really, do bandai being listed does make me intrested cause they aren't doing anything with Tekken 7 much anymore and the only other thing it could be is FighterZ content

 

[Neoxon]

Click to shrink...

TheHadou primarily runs it, but the Cannons oversee things.

 

[nsilvias]

time to get my pringles

Spoiler

for mvc4 announcment

 

[Fawz]

Hoping SNK's next big title is a Mark of the Wolves sequel

 

[Dale Copper]

I think the last of the Jojo characters in the remaster are yet to be revealed as Warner is here for Mutiversus, BNE can be here for that.

 

[Raigor]

Tekken 8 was on Nvidia leak, so a small teaser might happen at EVO.

 

[Izanagi89]

Wonder if they're gonna announce a SF6 beta. Really hope so.

 

[BBboy20]

WB is the interesting part here.

 

[ThatMeanScene]

Interesting. So they will trickle out presumably small announcements on that stream Friday and Saturday. I hope they still have bigger announcements on Finals Sunday though.

[TheBrightestSun]

The only big reveal I expect is probably the next Tekken teaser.

Strike iron while it's hot. They basically has a multiplatform Smash in their hands. With all their property IPs it can become really huge. And it is F2P.

MK12 is a Game Awards-tier announcement, EVO isn't big enough for that. As mentioned earlier, they're likely primarily talking MultiVersus.

Wonder if they're gonna announce a SF6 beta. Really hope so.

Click to shrink...

I wish, but…

I'm not so sure if we'll get a beta announcement at EVO. I do think one will eventually happen, but they seem to still have a lot of optimizing to do. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if SF6 launches after the end of the fiscal year.

Click to shrink...

If we do get one, I fear that it won't be until November or so. Please prove me wrong, universe.

Like Neoxon said, WB will probably only show us a new Multiversus character/Rick and Morty release date.
KOF XV usually presents all 3 characters on a team at the same time, not just one.

[Terraforce]

Aren't they doing that JoJo's game?

Click to shrink...

They said not to expect any big announcements from EVO. It could be dropped in a Jump magazine or on their official trailer around EVO, but sounds like they don't plan anything for the big stage itself.

 

[Giga Man]

Zoro in Soul Calibur????

Click to shrink...

Jesus Christ. If they did that, I'd drop everything and learn SoulCalibur!

 

[Jimnymebob]

Strive patch: Give May her second dolphin back.

Best Evo of all time.

 

[Deleted member 1102]

So reveals on the Friday and Saturday it seems. Still thinking that opening panel thing on the Friday will be where the brunt of announcements happen though.

 

[Deleted member 2752]

I'm also not expecting anything more than a tease, but why couldn't Tekken 8 be further along than that? I feel like they had enough time.

Perhaps this is Sony's way of making the reveals more digestible for the masses rather than sitting through tournaments they may or may not care about.

 

[Dog]

hype

 

[Vex]

Literally don't care about literally anything on that list but Capcom's reveals (SF6). Like that's the literal only thing I'm hype about literally.

 

[Rumenapp]

Strive on xbox!

Click to shrink...

Yeah I was thinking the same, get them out the way so that they can just focus on the matches themselves without people waiting for reveals.

 

[Host Samurai]

Craving a FighterZ 2 at the moment

 

[Neoxon]

This is a good point, though I can't see them not having any announcements on Sunday

Click to shrink...

I feel like those with enough reveals to go around (Ex: Capcom) may also double up on Sunday. Plus we could get Project L news then, as Riot tends to do their own thing.

 

[vypek]

I didn't even realize EVO was this weekend. I'm going to miss a big chunk of it since I'm busy this weekend :/

 

[Ryce]

I'm pulling for a KOFXV Goenitz reveal. There would be no better place to announce him than a panel ostensibly dedicated to Team Awakened Orochi.

I bet the crowd would Go nitz

 

[NeoChaos]

I had thought about posting this after Evo 2019, but it felt that fighting games with announcements were skipping E3 and favoring Evo as their main venue now. Covid kinda messed with that theory, but now with E3 seemingly officially dead, it seems like this is all but a fait accompli now.

 

[Izanagi89]

I wish, but…

Yeah, bit wishful thinking on my part. I feel like they have to have a beta test some time this year though if it's coming 2023. I wanna get my hands on this game so badly 😭

 

[Mopr3me]

Tekken 8 and enhanced patch for Tekken 7 please.
