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.[1] This is the first tournament held in-person since 2019. This is the first tournament sponsored under the co-sponsors Sony Corporation and Pokimane-led RTS.
Venue
EVO 2022 was, once again, hosted at the Mandalay Bay resort. The Mandalay Bay Convention Center hosted the first two days of the event, while Michelob Ultra Arena hosted the final day for the fifth consecutive tournament.

New additions are Guilty Gear Strive, KOF XV (replacing KOF XIV), Granblue Fantasy Versus, Melty Blood: Type Lumina, and Skullgirls 2nd Encore. Super Smash Bros.
