This year’s Evolution Championship Series (EVO) will be the first EVO event since 2019. EVO features the biggest fighting games currently being played and some of the best players in the world. This year’s EVO will take place in Las Vegas like the previous years. This year’s lineup includes many mainstays like Street Fighter and Tekken while including some new blood like Melty Blood: Type Lumina. EVO has released the full lineup and schedule on its website, which fans can check out to see when each tournament starts.
The full lineup of games in EVO 2022
EVO 2022 includes some of the most popular fighting games, though the event will have some notorious admissions. EVO announced the lineup in March, and Super Smash Bros. was not part of the lineup, which is a blow to the event. However, the event will still include many classic games like the most recent entries in the Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, and King of Fighters series. Below is the full list of all the games in EVO 2022:

The full schedule for EVO 2022
EVO 2020 and EVO 2021 got canceled because of the controversy with then EVO CEO Joey Cueller and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. EVO 2022 will be the first EVO in years and has a lot to live up to.
