Super Smash Bros Games Will Not Be Part of EVO 2022
Nintendo has decided to pull Super Smash Bros games from EVO 2022. The world’s largest fighting game tournament, now owned by Sony will now proceed without one of the most-loved fighting games for the first time since 2007.
The announcement came from EVO‘s official Twitter account in which they shared a letter making the announcement ahead of the EVO 2022 announcement show coming March 8th, 2022.
The letter reads:
The decision to not participate in EVO comes after Sony acquired the fighting game tournament last year. At the time the acquisition was announced, Nintendo said they wished the show organizers the best and it would monitor EVO and Nintendo has since partnered with Panda Global to bring fans the first officially licensed Super Smash Bros. eSports tournaments in North America. Regardless of all or any of this playing a role in their decision, as of now, it seems they have made their decision.
