EVO 2023, the biggest fighting game tournament of the year, always has fresh trailers. With tens of thousands of fighting game fans tuning in, this is the perfect time to reveal new characters. In addition, future updates can be teased or even give the first gameplay footage of an upcoming title. According to a leak on Reddit, an exciting list of games will reportedly be covered during the event.
However, it’s worth noting that while there will be gaming trailers at EVO 2023, this is all conjecture until the event takes place. Even within the thread, this was teased, and there were dissenting opinions. Here is what is reportedly to be expected at the tournament.
What trailers are allegedly being shown at EVO 2023?
Fighting game fans tune in to EVO 2023 as much for the action as they do in hopes of news on their favorite fighting games. According to a leak that was passed from 4chan and sent to Reddit’s “GamingLeaksAndRumors” subReddit, quite a few trailers are scheduled for the event.

Game trailers teased
- Mortal Kombat 1: Femme Fatale Trailer (Kira, D’Vorah, Tanya reveal)
- Street Fighter 6: Aki Trailer
- Jump Legends Ultimax: Story Trailer
- Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising: Lucilius Trailer
- Genshin Impact: Cross Connect: Announcement Trailer
- King of Fighters 15: Hotaru and Adelheid Trailer
- Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi: Warriors of Legend Trailer
- Dead or Alive: Birthday Teaser
- Tekken 8: Unchained Destiny Trailer (Kunimitsu reveal, Tifa Lockhart teaser)
- Disney’s Domination Reveal Trailer
Some view this as fake for a few reasons. One Redditor highlighted that the silhouettes of the KOF characters are already known, and neither are on the trailer allegedly being shown at EVO 2023.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to confirm whether these trailers will be revealed during the event. As Street Fighter 6 recently announced a Rashid trailer, it’s unknown if they will disclose what Aki will be like in the game so soon.
There is a character that should be made before the guest character, so please forget about the guest character for now. https://t.co/YkjpZv9Zzu

In addition, Tekken 8’s director Harada stated that fans shouldn’t expect to hear anything about guest characters anytime soon. He wants to get the main cast ready before worrying about guests. However, this could be a misdirection, so fans must tune in and see.
