This weekend, the best fighting game players in the world gathered to compete in Evo 2024. The annual tournament is the biggest competition for the genre, and on top of fantastic matches, the event always has major announcements for the fighting game world. That includes updates on already existing titles, like the phenomenal Guilty Gear -Strive-, and teases for upcoming games.
Before we dive into all the top news, you should check out some of this year’s best matches. Fighting game legend Sonic Fox took home yet another Evo title, this time for Mortal Kombat 1, and the match is just as impressive as you’d expect. Meanwhile, Guilty Gear -Strive- had a neck-to-neck grand finals match that showed why the game remains one of the best in the genre. Though my choice for the best match of the tournament has to be the Street Fighter 6 grand finals, which saw player Punk become the first American to win a Street Fighter title in the event’s history.
Now, let’s talk about all those character reveals and other announcements we saw at Evo 2024.
