At some point, a Japanese Lin Kuei warrior named Takeda (Not the one from MKX,) travels to Japan, spreads his knowledge of Ninjutsu to various general and lords during the feudal era, and forms the first ever ninja clan, the Shirai-Ryu. The Lin Kuei originated somewhere in northern Asia and are essentially super-human warriors for hire. Until the weekend finally arrives, all we can do is pray up to Pokimane for some sick reveals and even radder tournament play.In the world of Mortal Kombat there are two rival clans, the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei. It’s safe to say, this year’s Evo is 100% worth watching (as if it wasn’t already). These reveals and in-person tournament play stand out as a return to norm for many. That's a lot of shifting and moving, during COVID no less. After being acquired in a joint venture between Sony and Endaevor (itself owned by Twitch Streamer Pokimane), the general manager torch was also passed from now Riot Games / Project L Tom Cannon to Rick Thiher. Regardless of reveals, it's great to see Evo back in the swing of things.


With their last DLC character being released a year ago, now would be the perfect time for a brand new entry into the series. Tekken 7 is more than seven years old if you include the original arcade release, and has sold millions of copies since then. Creators of the excellent 3D fighter Tekken 7, they’ve yet to announce future plans for the franchise. This means it could be more MultiVersus news, but with Lebron James already out and Rick & Morty announced, I’d put my money on the former.įinally, we have Bandai Namco. That being said, it’s Warner Bros showing up, not Netherrealm. Whether it’s Mortal Kombat 12, Injustice 3, or an altogether different title, we’d love to see something.
#MORTAL KOMBAT 12 SCORPION UPDATE#
With Mortal Kombat 11 receiving its final update back in 2021, we know for a fact that a new project is getting the team’s full attention right now. Warner Bros has been incognito for a while.

" will feature top-shelf curated show coverage, bracket updates, interviews with players, and exciting content and reveals from developers and publishers"ĪWS, WB, Capcom, SNK and Bamco confirmed /nMPFSGJxfq- Nibel AugTo see this content please enable targeting cookies. PlayStation reveals EVO Lounge Live Show for #EVO2022 Guilty Gear Strive is the most popular tournament competitor-wise of this event, making it well worth additional content. As such, alongside DNF Duel DLC characters which have a high probability of showing up, it’s possible we see some more love paid towards some of their other titles. One developer that’s tricker to gauge is Arc System Works! While DNF Duel is out and popping off post-release, the developer has been known to juggle multiple games at once in the past. Side note, King of Fighters is always a great game to watch at Evo with plenty of worldwide representation, so you should totally watch at least the top 8 finals. Recently released and still popular, it’s likely we’ll see some more DLC character teams revealed at the show. SNK is also a presence we can likely predict, with King of Fighters 15 standing out as their sole big fighting game right now. With only five of the cast revealed ( not via leaks), it’s likely that at least one new character will be shown at the show. The most obvious of which is Street Fighter 6, which was revealed earlier this year during a PlayStation showcase. So, what is actually going to be shown off? While we don’t know for sure, recent events as well as the current fighting game landscape can help us make some educated guesses. Check out Testemant, the last Guilty Gear Strive DLC character we got.
