It’s the biggest fighting games esports event in Europe: more than 4,500 participants from 93 countries. Evo France 2025 features top-level official qualifiers and the first big early access tournament for 2XKO.

Europe is one of the most passionate regions for the fighting games community (FGC). Exciting events happen here regularly: VSFighting, UFA, Clash of the Olympians, and more. However, the brand of Evo performs miracles even here! Evo France happens in 2025 for the first time ever, and it’s an FGC celebration to remember.

The event includes seven main tournaments. Most of them are part of World Tours and Championships.

  • Street Fighter 6, TEKKEN 8, FATAL FURY CotW, Guilty Gear Strive, and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising — These games have the highest-tier qualifiers for their official leagues.
  • Dragon Ball FighterZ and Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact — It’s a love letter to the deep tradition tag-team fighters in France.

In addition to the main lineup, Evo France 2025 has a few side tournaments. 2XKO is the biggest and arguably the most interesting among them. The game entered the early access phase just a few days before the event, and the level of hype around it is tangible.

The next DLC character to join Street Fighter 6 is C. Viper. The release date is Oct. 15, so we can see some reveals on the next addition to the roster: perhaps a gameplay trailer for Alex.

So far, Capcom showed only this Outfit 4 for Zangief.

TEKKEN 8

As a Master+ qualifier of the TEKKEN World Tour 2025 (TWT 2025), Evo France rewards the TEKKEN 8 top placements with higher amounts of standing points.

Arslan Ash, the Evo 2025 Champion, JeonDDing, the local favorite as Team Vitality sponsors him, and Knee, who won Evo Japan 2025 are among the notable participants.

FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves

The SNK World Championship 2025 happens from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2 as part of DreamHack Atlanta. The FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (FATAL FURY: CotW) players at Evo France 2025 battle for one of just three remaining qualification spots.

Some of the biggest names in the SNK community are here, even if they have already advanced to the finals. Kindevu qualified from Saudi Fighting League Season 4 Major, despite losing two grand finals in a row to yunwu. Poongko won Vegas Climax V at the beginning of October. Such players as mok, Tyurara, and Xian have another chance at Evo France 2025.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising

It’s another major title of the Arc World Tour 2025 and a Platinum+ qualifier. A direct invite for the winner and an increased amount of standing points are the rewards for the Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising players at Evo France 2025.

Meg is the next DLC character to join Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. The release gap is Autumn, and it’s quite a time to show the gameplay. The previous character was Wilnas.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

The glorious days of the global Dragon Ball FighterZ (DBFZ) competition are over, but the game is still very popular in France. Some of the best players come from this country, so it feels logical to have DBFZ at Evo France 2025.

Hikari, the winner of the last DBFZ World Tour, Yasha, who won some of the biggest events for this game, and WADE, the Champion at UFA 2025, are among those who showcase the final versions of Dragon Ball FighterZ at this tournament.

There is no hope for DBFZ updates. Still, the game is featured at Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour 2026.

Hunter x Hunter: Nen Impact

This event is the peak of the esports lifespan for the Hunter x Hunter fighting game. It’s interesting to witness what the dedicated players can do in this tag-team environment.

Some miracles of updates are needed to put Nen Impact back on track. The promise is still great, and hopefully, Arc System Works has something up their sleeves.

2XKO

The wait is finally over: after a pretty long development period and a few beta testing, 2XKO entered an early access phase. In this state, the League of Legends fighting game is present at Evo France 2025, as a side tournament.

Various fighting games celebrities signed up for this competition: SonicFox, Wawa, Leffen, and others.
