Evo 2024 Games Announced, Tekken 8 and Street Fighter 6 Headline | Push Square
12.02.2024 - 23:55 / pushsquare.com / Sony
The main games lineup for Evo 2024 has been revealed, and to the surprise of no one, Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 are the headline acts. Those heavy hitters will be joined by Guilty Gear Strive, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Under Night In-Birth 2 [Sys:Celes], Mortal Kombat 1, King of Fighters XV, and Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike (the latter being Evo's 'retro' pick for 2024).
This'll be the very first Evo for Tekken 8 and Under Night In-Birth 2. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is also a newer game, but it actually had a pre-release tournament at Evo 2023, so this technically isn't its first appearance.
For those totally out of the loop, Evo is the world's biggest fighting game event, consisting of professional-level tournaments for major titles. It's typically watched by hundreds of thousands of people over the course of its dedicated weekend, and anyone can enter its competitions. A few years back, Evo was acquired by Sony, and so PlayStation is now its main sponsor.
Evo 2024 will take place over the weekend starting 19th July, until the 21st July. It's being held at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, if the name didn't already give it away. You can register for an Evo pass right now by visiting the official site — but if you're staying home, you'll be able to watch all of the action via official channels on streaming sites like Twitch.
Are you looking forward to Evo? Start practicing some combos in the comments section below.
Robert's been a dedicated PlayStation fan since the days of Tekken 2, and he still loves a good dust up. When he's not practising combos, he's usually getting lost in the latest 100-hour RPG, or, y'know, replaying The Witcher 3.
Unironically surprised Mortal Kombat 1 made it in. I thought it was gonna get MvC I’ed, especially with how NRS games haven’t been that big in general for the greater FGC.
If xbox goes 3rd party KI can be a retro tournament in the future, Sony already gave it some love last year. A PS port could help a lot LOL.
@Deoxyr1bose after Hogwarts success the PS-WB partnership is something both parties won't let go for now. MK had an invitation all the time.
@gymratAmarillo Mortal Kombat 11 wasn’t in the original 2020 lineup, which was only a year after it came out. MK11 was also way more of a success than MK1 was. Also I don’t know to what extent Sony controls the game lineup itself. Does Sony really want 3rd Strike of all games? No, the FGC does.
Strange that Sony does not yet have their own fighting game. Either they need to build one from the ground up, or they need to finally marry Namco Bandai.
@Deoxyr1bose Sony doesn't decide everything, that's true. But the same way the EVO GM always answered the «where is ki» with «we have to ask». If

Surfacing at Sony's recent State of Play showcase, long-suffering fans were subjected to a combat trailer which seemed out of touch with the series's more cerebral roots.

Without a Physical PS5 Release, Alan Wake 2 Is Still Remedy's Fastest Selling Game | Push Square
Fans want a physical edition of Remedy’s horror sequel Alan Wake 2, but the critically acclaimed game isn’t exactly struggling on digital storefronts. The title has now sold 1.3 million copies worldwide, making it the fastest-selling title in the Finnish firm’s history. It previously reached one million units by the end of December 2023, so it looks like word of mouth has been good through the first two months of 2024.

Microsoft only announced four first-party titles for PS5 today, and it’s refusing to name which ones, although the likelihood is that Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment will all get ported. However, its stance is wishy-washy when it comes to other releases, with Spencer claiming he doesn’t believe “we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform”.
