EVO 2024 set for July 26 to 28

Welcome to a day of bargains and Armored Core VI embargo lifts. Mitch gave it an 8 here. Personally, I've played the hell out of it and have some thoughts as well. The TL;DR: without logging into the multi mode, you'll be hard pressed to milk the 50-60 hour estimate that's been getting around. That said, the combat feels great, and you can construct any svelte mech your heart desires. Be it an EVA unit knock-off. A Gundam. Or The Crushinator...

It is frankly baffling how little has been released about the forthcomingFallout TV series premiering on Prime Video next year, with a lot of fundamental questions basically unanswered beyond the fact that it will be telling an original story set in and around Vault 33, a retro-future nuclear fallout shelter much like the ones every Fallout game begins in.

When is Evo 2023? If you're asking that question, you're probably set on watching the world's largest fighting game tournament unfold over the course of the weekend. The Sony-backed event runs over the course of three days, and all of it is being streamed live on Twitch.

American Truck Simulator's Oklahoma expansion might only just have arrived, but the sim's ceaseless trundle across the United States continues on, with developer SCS Software confirming Nebraska is currently one of several future state expansions in development.

Thank your own personal deity — possibly The Dragon God — it's Friday. Along with the usual deals today, I'd like to draw your attention to something dear to the black void in my chest that ought to hold an organ. Quake II, id's seminal shooter, has just been remastered and released upon Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. (Steam users who own it get a free upgrade, too!)

We're thrilled to announce the return of GamesBeat Summit Next, hosted in San Francisco this October, where we will explore the theme of «Playing the Edge.» Apply to speak  here  and learn more about sponsorship opportunities  here . 

EVO 2023 just wrapped up in Las Vegas. This mega-sized fighting event has become the home of top-tier tournaments for games such as Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Tekken 7, and, of course, Street Fighter 6. It's also the place to go if you're a fightstick aficionado, as competitors swarm to the event with their own hardware in-hand.

While EVO 2023 may be done and dusted, your cheap fisticuffs opportunities are many. Case in point: Humble has a Brawl Til You Fall sale that has fist-violence (and fist-violence-adjacent) games discounted. Speaking of punching on, I should also like to steer you to the thwack-tastic Batman Arkahm Trilogy on Switch. Helluva series. And I love me a good typo.

Last night in Las Vegas, many eyes were on Street Fighter 6. The newly launched entry in Capcom’s fighting game series held the final slot of Grand Finals day at Evo 2023. With record entrants and an already warm reception, it’s easy to say expectations were high. Still, I don’t think we could have expected the stellar grand finals Street Fighter 6 got.

LAS VEGAS—The Evolution Championship Series, the world's highest-profile fighting game tournament, is underway, once again showcasing thousands of the best Guilty Gear Strive, King of Fighters XV, Mortal Kombat 11, Street Fighter 6, and Tekken 7 players. Although the event focuses on the tense, high-stakes, double-elimination tournament, this year's Evo expands the attendee's entertainment offerings with many new diversions that may appeal to people who aren't tourney competitors.

Evo 2023, aka the Evolution Championship Series, will bring the best-of-the-best fighting game players to Las Vegas this weekend for a three-day tournament. This year’s Evo promises to be its biggest, with nearly 15,000 registrants competing across the eight games featured in its main competition. More than 7,000 players are duking it out in Street Fighter 6 alone.
