On July 21, 2024, the organizers of EVO revealed that the iconic fighting game tournament is expanding into Europe with a Nice, France event from October 10 to 12. Additionally, EVO will also be in Singapore in 2026.

More than that, EVO will also be coming to Los Angeles in February as part of the EVO Awards and Las Vegas from August 1 to 3. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Prior to the Las Vegas event, there will be EVO Tokyo from May 9 to 11.

It’s an exciting time to be a fighting game player and viewer, especially as the event looks to expand into new regions. Hopefully, this will see more players from across different areas able to participate in the biggest fighting game event of the year.
