Evo 2020 Games Main Games Lineup

Set to kick off on the 31st July, Evo 2020 has officially announced its main lineup of games. The annual event will play host to eight main fighting game tournaments as well as a special Marvel vs. Capcom 2 invitational.

Here's the main lineup:

  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  • Tekken 7
  • Street Fighter V
  • Dragon Ball FighterZ
  • Granblue Fantasy: Versus
  • Samurai Shodown
  • SoulCalibur VI
  • Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r]
  • Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (invitational)

For the most part it's a predictable selection, but there are two notable absences. Mortal Kombat 11 and BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, both of which appeared on the main stage at Evo last year, haven't made the cut this time around. We assume part of the reasoning is that Mortal Kombat 11 will have its own big tournament at some point in 2020, while Arc System Works is keen to focus on Granblue Fantasy: Versus rather than BlazBlue.

Indeed, Granblue is the only completely new game set for Evo 2020. Let's hope that it's well received when it launches this very week in Japan, and later on in March when it hits Western shores.
