largest fighting game tournament series in the world is of course going to be coming back for another year, and now we&#8217;ll get to see what their plans are under new ownership.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br

to take place tonight where they will reveal more information about the big events taking place all over the world.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t  &#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t&#13;<br \/>\n

it&#8217;s supposed to last.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>This announcement show is going down quite a bit earlier than usual, which could be due to Evo 2026 itself taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada from June 26\u201328 instead of its usual August slot.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Organizers are set to reveal the fighting game lineups for both Evo 2026 and Evo Japan 2026 along with providing more information about the tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>We should see some obvious staples returning like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8 and Guilty Gear Strive, but it&#8217;ll be interesting to see what else will be included next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>2XKO is another likely candidate along with Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves being a shoe in though things get more murky beyond that.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>The potential inclusion or exclusion of titles like Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls and Invincible VS could point to their release dates being later than the big events.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>They will also be providing information on the 2026 Evo Awards as well that is going down on March 28 next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>This is also going to be the first year operating under Evo&#8217;s new ownership after <a
