The first-ever Evo Brazil major is approaching quickly. The inaugural event will take place on March 26–28, 2027, in São Paulo, with several recent fighting game titles in tow. A whopping R$1 million prize pool is also guaranteed for the major.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, Guilty Gear Strive, The King of Fighters 15, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Mortal Kombat 1, Street Fighter 6, and Tekken 8 will make up the first eight games.
Surprisingly, Mortal Kombat 1 has come out of hiding for the major after not appearing at another Evo event since 2025. According to some outlets, Mortal Kombat’s popularity in South America might have contributed to its return to the stage.
Noticeably, Invincible Versus, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, and 2XKO are nowhere to be seen on the roster. The first and latter games were released this year, which makes their absence puzzling. 2XKO ended DLC support this year but still has an active and supportive competitive scene keeping it going.
