In March, we heard how this year’s EVO Championship series in North America would be “moving forward” with its plans. Now, like every other gaming event at this point, it’s been cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The announcement was made on the official EVO Twitter account. As previously promised, all arena tickets and hotel room reservations will be refunded. To make up for this, an online event will take its place this summer. More information about this will be revealed soon.
EVO locked in its games line-up for this year at the start of February. Apart from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the other fighters included were Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r], Dragon Ball FighterZ, Samurai Shodown, Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, Soul Calibur VI, Granblue Fantasy Versus and Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
We’ll let you know when details about the new online event are released.
