Smash Ultimate Included In Full EVO Lineup

This article was originally written for TheNintendoVillage.com, a website I founded and ran from 2018 to 2021.


The full lineup for this year’s EVO tournament has been revealed, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will once again be representing Nintendo.

The best-selling fighting game of all time will be taking its place alongside Dragon Ball FighterZ, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Samurai Showdown, Soul Calibur VI, Under Night In Birth Exe:Late[cl-r], Granblue Fantasy Versus and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. Those latter two titles are new additions to the slate for this year, having been absent in 2019.

Also absent in 2019 was Super Smash Bros Melee, which again misses out in favour of it’s more recent sibling, and Mortal Kombat XI has also been dropped from the roster, as has BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. The event will be taking place in Las Vegas from 31 July to 2 August.

Happy with that lineup? Will you be attending or tuning in? Let us know down below!
