It is one of the biggest annual tournaments ever, and attracts many aspiring professional players of extraordinary talent levels to compete against one another.Games that will be showcased at EVO 2022The official roster of games that will be featured at the event has been unveiled. It is a very extensive list that should make almost every fighting game fan happy. Take a look:Street Fighter V: Champion EditionGuilty Gear StriveMortal Kombat 11 UltimateTekken 7KOF XVMelty Blood: Type LuminaDragon Ball FighterZGranblue Fantasy VersusSkullgirls 2nd EncoreCountless big names are on here, like Street Fighter and Tekken. However, relatively niche fighters also make an appearance, like Melty Blood and Skullgirls. So why "almost"? This is because one notable fighter is missing: Super Smash Bros Ultimate.A few months ago, Japanese publisher Nintendo announced that their best-selling fighting game crossover for the Nintendo Switch hybrid console will not be appearing at EVO 2022. Since tournament officials failed to provide a definitive reason as to why this decision was made, it is hard to say why the iconic platform fighting game will be missing from the lineup. On the bright side, there will be more than enough variety to keep things exciting.Where to watch the event?PlayStation@PlayStationLet the games begin with PlayStation Tournaments: Evo Lounge live show, featuring the biggest fights, player interviews, developer guests, and more.
