The Evolution Championship Series (Evo), the world’s premier fighting game tournament, is set to make its debut in Southeast Asia in Singapore. In a groundbreaking announcement, Evo’s general manager Rick Thiher revealed that Singapore will host the prestigious event in 2026, marking a significant milestone in the tournament’s global expansion.
This move reflects Evo’s commitment to embracing the international fighting game community and recognizing the growing popularity of competitive gaming in Asia. Although organizers have not yet confirmed the exact date, fighting game enthusiasts worldwide are already building anticipation for the event.
Thiher also unveiled a packed schedule for 2025:
Evo Awards LA: February 2025
Evo Japan: May 9-11, 2025
Evo Las Vegas: August 1-3, 2025
Evo France: October 10-12, 2025
Evo Singapore: 2026 (exact dates TBA)
The Evo Awards in Los Angeles is an award show celebrating achievements in the fighting game community, adding a new dimension to Evo. As Evo continues to grow, questions arise about how these international events will impact the overall competitive landscape. Will players see these events as regional championships feeding into a grand final, or will each event stand alone as a major tournament?
While details are still emerging, one thing is clear: Evo’s expansion to Singapore in 2026 represents a exciting new chapter for the fighting game community. It’s a bold step towards a truly global competitive gaming scene, promising to bring together players and fans from diverse backgrounds in celebration of the games they love. You can find more updates on Evo Singapore and new information on their official social media page.
