Evo 2023 line-up announcement features Street Fighter 6 and brings old Marvel 3 players out of retirement Leave a comment
The official line-up for Evo 2023 was announced today. Street Fighter 6 is making its Evo debut, while plenty of community favourites like Guilty Gear: Strive and Tekken 7 are getting another go at the main stage too. Each game with have a prize pool of at least $25,000 each.
The event, which was bought out by Sony and RTS in 2021, is also making some substantial changes! The Top 8 finals format has been controversially scrapped and replaced with Top 6, apparently to keep things from running overtime.
Let’s start with the big one. Street Fighter 6 will be featured at Evo 2023, and stood out as a main point of excitement for many of the prior Evo winners interviewed as part of the announcement show. Only a few days prior at the Capcom Pro Tour finals, a $1,000,000 prize for 1st place in next year’s Capcom Cup Street Fighter 6 winner. The combination of the two has thousands hyped to attend Evo and give the game a go.
