Sony EVO
'22 Lounge Live Show, Stream Schedule
|
|
|
|
 EVO
2022 (Aug. 5th-7th) is upon us this weekend and early reports have either claimed or
suggested Capcom, Bandai Namco, and other developers will be announcing
"major news" regarding upcoming fighting games throughout EVO
weekend! Sony will
be hosting the PlayStation EVO '22 Tournaments from their EVO Lounge Live
Show where they have confirmed "exclusive announcements"
during the show and stream which airs Aug. 5th-6th. Once again, EVO
itself runs from Aug. 5th-7th, with potential announcements
being made before finals day. Below is more info from
Sony via PlayStation.Blog
about the EVO Lounge Live Show and schedule:
PlayStation
Tournaments: Evo Lounge
PlayStation will
celebrate the return of Evo with the PlayStation Tournaments: Evo Lounge,
a live show dedicated to covering all the competition’s exciting events
and content. The show is hosted by players and commentators who live and
breathe the FGC. Viewers will be able to stay updated with the latest at
Evo and watch exclusive content that won’t be available elsewhere.
The Evo Lounge will
feature top-shelf curated show coverage, bracket updates, interviews with
players, and exciting content and reveals from developers and publishers,
such as Arc System Works, Warner Bros. Games, Capcom, SNK, and
Bandai Namco Entertainment, as well as all the latest from the scene with
pro players and casters. Viewers will be treated to the latest news
for our favorite games and a few sneak peeks of what’s ahead. It’s
every spectator’s source for Evo and FGC intel. You can tune into the
show on YouTube
and Twitch on
August 5 and 6, streaming live from Las Vegas.

Evo 2022 Has to Offer With PlayStation
Get ready for the
ultimate FGC championship and follow along as we provide updates and
content from the floor. Stream the PlayStation Tournaments: Evo Lounge on

IGN
also reported on EVO '22 featuring announcements and reveals from
developers such as Capcom, Bandai Namco, Arc System Works, SNK, and
Warner Bros. However, Ed Boon curiously replied with a tweet
claiming that EVO '22 news will not include Mortal Kombat.
But wait a sec... is this some kind of hint that some other new
fighting game by NetherRealm Studios will be announced during EVO? The
Mortal Kombat co-creator is well known for trolling on Twitter just
before NRS announcements are made...
Curiously, IGN has since deleted their tweet confirming "Mortal
Kombat news" will be announced at EVO '22. (However, they could
be in on it too.) We don't know what to expect yet, but there's definitely
a chance Ed Boon might actually announce something like Injustice 3
(or even a new fighting game series) during EVO. 
But whatever it is, it's not Mortal Kombat... apparently.

As reported earlier, Capcom has announced Street
Fighter 6 will be playable at EVO '22. SNK will also have their
own booth featuring a playable build of KOF XV's next DLC
Team, Team Awakened Orochi.
Arc System Works Daisuke Ishiwatari will also appear during EVO '22 to
talk about the future of the Guilty Gear series and likely reveal
something related to Guilty Gear -STRIVE- Season 2. More information and tickets to the Sunday arena finals are currently
available on the official EVO website.
Nothing better than EVO announcements in my birth month. Hey, it's my
birthday today and I'm ready to party all week long! Bring on the big news
this weekend... 
Stay tuned on Fighters
Generation for upcoming EVO '22 news and announcements!
