EVO 2022: Super Smash Bros. and Nintendo will not participate in the event

EVO 2022

Nintendo has made the decision not to participate in EVO 2022, the largest eSport event linked to the fighting game scene. Consequently, no tournaments linked to the Super Smash Bros brand will be organized during the event.

The news came from a Twitter post by the organizers of the Evolution Championship Series, in which, among other things, they remember the appointment with the show with the announcements that will precede the event set at 02:00 Italian on 9 March.

"We are grateful for all the great games joining us later this year in Las Vegas, but we want to let you know in advance that Super Smash Bros. will not be in this edition.", reads the release.

"Since 2007 we have seen historical moments of Super Smash Bros. during the events of the Evo. We are saddened that Nintendo has chosen not to continue this tradition with us this year. In the future, we hope to celebrate once again to celebrate the Super Smash Bros. community "


At the moment Nintendo has not released official statements on the reasons behind the decision not to participate in EVO 2022 with Super Smash Bros .. We doubt that it is due to possible friction with the organization due to the fact that now the Evolution Championship Series is owned by Sony. More likely, however, that the decision was made by the big N due to the partnership last November with Panda Global for the organization of a series of official Super Smash Bros. Ultimate competitions in North America.

Before leaving, we remind you that EVO 2022 will take place in Las Vegas between August 5th and 7th.
