The EVO Japan games lineup has been announced for 2025. In addition, registration is now open for those who are able to head to Japan and take part in the event.

The presence of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. is notable, as this version of the game was only recently announced and is currently unavailable. It is set for release “this Winter” and players of existing copies of Virtua Fighter 5 should receive changes from this version, although there is no concrete release date yet. However, its presence on the EVO Japan 2025 lineup suggests it will appear within the next few months.
Registration for EVO Japan 2025 is now open, with a new process separating attendees and competitors. This was done to avoid confusion of previous shows. Spectators can order their tickets through the EVO Japan website, while competitors will also need to register through start.gg. Entrants looking to enter the 5-on-5 competitions will need to form a team through the site before registration too Registration is open until April 6, 2025.
