The 2022 Evolution Championship Series (commonly referred to as Evo 2022 or EVO 2022) was a fighting game event held in Las Vegas from August 5 to 7, 2022 as part of the long-running Evolution Championship Series.
The event offered tournaments for various video games, including Street Fighter V, Tekken 7, and Dragon Ball FighterZ, as well as the newly released Melty Blood: Type Lumina, Granblue Fantasy Versus and The King of Fighters XV.
It also marks the first time that Skullgirls was a main event game 10 years after its release.
Ultimate was confirmed not to return to the tournament before the official reveal, marking the first time a Smash game was not in the main lineup since EVO 2012.
It would later be formally announced as Tekken 8 during Sony's State of Play presentation on September 13, 2022.
