EVO Japan 2026
EVO Japan 2026 is a major fighting game tournament and community event, scheduled to take place as part of the Evolution Championship Series (EVO) in Japan. It continues the tradition of the original EVO Japan, which began in 2018 as an offshoot of the premier U.S.-based EVO tournament, bringing together top players from around the world to compete in games like Street Fighter, Tekken, and Guilty Gear. The event celebrates competitive gaming culture and the legacy of Japanese arcade fighting games.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
“Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves” is a fictional location from the *Fatal Fury* and *King of Fighters* video game series, serving as a gritty, urban battleground where fighters clash. It is notably the home turf of the legendary fighter Terry Bogard and is closely tied to the criminal underworld, including the feared Geese Howard. The city’s history is marked by a long-running feud between Terry and Geese, culminating in several dramatic confrontations, including the iconic battle atop Geese Tower.
