EVO returns to Las Vegas next year
EVO 2022 will be an in-person tournament.
EVO organisers have announced that the fighting game tournament will return to its Las Vegas venue next year. EVO 2022 will take place August 5-7, 2022.
With this year's entirely digital EVO having just concluded over the weekend, EVO organisers took to Twitter to reveal that while they enjoyed online tournaments, nothing beats seeing everyone in person.
"We have loved the competition through our online events, but nothing beats live, in-person tournaments between players from around the world," EVO said in a Tweet. "It has been too long since we have experienced the spirit of the FGC in person together."
Back in March, Sony acquired EVO, promising to keep it open to all platforms. This year's digital event was the first to be held under Sony ownership.
