Granblue Rising is having its first yr on the Evo mainstage and will likely be one of many 4 video games featured on Sunday finals, so they have some huge footwear to fill.
There’s nonetheless two unannounced characters for Rising’s first season cross, and so they’ve already teased the primary goes to be playable on the Evo flooring at their sales space.

Avenue Fighter 6
Though M. Bison simply launched within the sport just a few weeks in the past, Capcom mainly at all times has to have one thing to point out to the Evo crowd for Avenue Fighter.
With Terry Bogard subsequent in line for the DLC characters, there’s an especially excessive likelihood we’ll get to see his teaser trailer earlier than SF6 finals even when he is not releasing till the Fall.
Additionally make sure you control Capcom’s Showcase panel on Friday, contemplating that is the place they revealed the first batch of Outfit 3 costumes final yr.
When: Friday 1:30 p.m., Sunday 7 p.m.
Tekken 8
Lidia Sobieska will not be becoming a member of the Tekken 8 roster till proper after Evo, however Bandai Namco does not usually come to Evo empty handed both for the followers.
A teaser trailer of Tekken’s third DLC character and perhaps a have a look at the Fall content material may very well be so as although you by no means actually know what Katsuhiro Harada is planning.
Final yr they even introduced out former Capcom Producer Yoshinori Ono to joke about Tekken X Avenue Fighter, and now he is been posting about Mortal Kombat.
When: Friday 4 p.m., Sunday 4 p.m.
Responsible Gear Attempt
They might not have come proper out and mentioned it, however it’s fairly clear that Arc System Works is gearing as much as announce new content material.
Responsible Gear Attempt Season 4 was already confirmed to be in improvement, and Evo is the right place to take action like they beforehand did with Bridget and Johnny in years previous.
When: Friday 5:30 p.m., Sunday 1 p.m.
Deadly Fury: Metropolis of the Wolves
Not like KOF15, SNK hasn’t actually promised something new for Deadly Fury at Evo this yr, however they’ve made bulletins for it the previous two years.
With presumably fairly just a few extra characters left to announce earlier than its scheduled 2025 launch, we’ll greater than seemingly see not less than yet another addition this weekend.
So you may must control each the SNK panel and KOF finals.
When: Friday 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m.
Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impression
Bushiroad Video games have been occurring a tear recently revealing Feitan and Chrollo these previous few weeks, however there’s nonetheless just a few extra characters left to see.
With their very own panel on Friday, we’ll in all probability see not less than one or two extra of them.
Maybe they will lastly reveal the discharge date too.
When: Friday 10 a.m.
Marvel vs. Capcom
As a substitute of being listed as a Avenue Fighter 6-specific panel, the builders are working a “Capcom Panel” this yr, which has us below the impression that some Marvel goes to be included too.
We’re not anticipating something loopy like a model new Marvel vs. Capcom, however there is a robust likelihood the staff will discuss it in some vogue at Evo.
A launch date for the Marvel vs. Capcom Combating Assortment would in all probability be the most secure guess.
When: Friday 1:30 p.m., Sunday 7 p.m.
Indie Fighters
On high of all the large weapons, there can even be fairly a little bit of indie preventing sport assist at Evo this yr too.
We already know that Rivals of Aether 2 has a panel on Friday at 6:15 p.m. for instance.

Virtua Fighter
There’s been rumblings and rumors of a brand new Virtua Fighter within the works at Sega with plans to allegedly reveal the challenge in some unspecified time in the future this yr.
That leaves locations like Evo, Tokyo Recreation Present 2024 and The Recreation Awards 2024 because the most probably candidates if that’s true.
All people will simply have to be looking out the entire weekend to see if Sega is able to exhibit what they have been supposedly cooking.
Mortal Kombat 1
Whereas MultiVersus can have one thing for followers at Evo, it is wanting much less and fewer seemingly that NetherRealm Studios goes to have something huge to share.
With Takeda already revealed and playable on the Evo flooring, there is not any extra Kombat Pack content material left to tease.
Plus NRS already revealed they’ll reveal extra about the way forward for Mortal Kombat 1 subsequent weekend on the San Diego Comedian-Con 2024 too.
When: Saturday 12:30 p.m.
2XKO
Regardless of the Cannon brothers main the 2XKO improvement staff and their historical past organizing Evo, they do not actually make bulletins for the League of Legends preventing sport on the occasion itself.
They already revealed Braum as the newest playable character final week, who will likely be within the new demo construct at Evo, together with the closed alpha check subsequent month.
There’s nothing stopping Riot from exhibiting extra and appears like they will have a reasonably large presence on the occasion, however it appears they’ve in all probability mentioned all they must say for 2XKO in the mean time.
Is there anything we missed or one thing you are wanting ahead to probably the most? Tell us within the feedback.
