The Evo Japan 2024 lineup has been revealed. There will be five games played in the 1on1 format with two more featuring 5on5 competitions.
Ultimately, it just wouldn’t be Evo without Street Fighter, so it should come as no surprise that Street Fighter 6 will have a big presence at the event. More than likely, Street Fighter 6 will bring in the most entrants as it typically does for Evo events.
Tekken 8 will also be present at Evo Japan 2024. Considering its popularity, it’ll probably be the second most popular title that players will compete in.
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Guilty Gear Strive, and The King of Fighters 15 are the other three 1on1 format games. Considering that the developers behind these games are still working on content and new games, will likely get a few reveals at this event.
Street Fighter 3: Third Strike and Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. are the two titles that will be played in the 5on5 format. We should get to see a number of players getting in on the action with both of these games.
With the recent confirmation that Sega has been developing a new Virtua Fighter, it’s currently unknown if this was just a reference to Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O., or if there is a Virtua Fighter 6 in development. Needless to say, Virtua Fighter fans might want to pay attention to Evo Japan this year.
