Evo is returning to Las Vegas again in 2024 but this time it will have a new look, venue, format, and lineup that are all designed to give everyone in attendance and watching from home even more fighting game action to enjoy.
From July 19 to 21, Evo 2024 brings the FGC to the Las Vegas Convention Center for the event series’s biggest spread of show floor content. Not only will attendees have a bigger arcade and new featured showcases, but an “all-inclusive” ticket will allow them to bounce between the show floor and Finals Arena. With that shift, Evo 2024 will host the top six finals for all eight games in this year’s lineup on the Arena Finals stage.
If you plan on going to Evo as a competitor, attendee, or just watching from home, here is a full list of the featured games and other improvements for Evo 2024.
