Eight video games can be featured throughout three days on the primary stage at Evo 2024, together with the likes of Avenue Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and Mortal Kombat 1, on July 19 via 21.

The information was introduced immediately on a particular stream, hosted by Vicious, MajinObama, and different members of the combating sport neighborhood.

The presence of Avenue Fighter 6 ought to be no shock, given its record-breaking entrants from final yr and unimaginable grand finals. Tekken 8 seems to be to hold ahead the legacy of its sequence, and by all accounts it’s doing nicely. It appears seemingly that these two will compete for probably the most entrants at this yr’s festivities in Las Vegas.
