Evo 2024 will be the biggest event in esports history.
The annual fighting game tournament will see 10,224 unique players from 63 countries compete July 19-21 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, becoming the largest tournament ever in esports history, according to a press release.
“We are seeing more and more of the community exercising their competitive spirit with us in Las Vegas each year,” General Manager Rick Thiher said in a press release. “The wonderful thing about fighting games is that while there are generations of players returning year after year, there is always a new generation greeting them at Evo and aspiring to make a name for themselves. What makes Evo special is not just watching who will cement their legacy across these generations, but seeing how these generations of players come together and connect as a community and culture.”
Evo 2024 will see the largest brackets in franchise history for Tekken 8, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. Other titles include Street Fighter 6, Guilty Gear -Strive-, Under Night In-Birth II Sys:Celes, Mortal Kombat 1, and The King of Fighters XV.
In addition to the tournaments, there will be a show floor for attendees to take in, which will include casual gaming areas, artists and vendors, a main stage for publisher panels, game reveals and exhibitions and more.
