January 20, 2014 at 7 pm Pacific Time Mike Ross along with the Tournament Organizer Mr. Wizard presented the game lineup for Evolution 2015. This was given as the definitive list for the tournament, with no last minute additions happening this year. Most notable additions to the tournament are Tekken 7 on Arcade Cabinets, marking the first time in ten plus years that Evo has had arcade cabinets on main stage. This will also be the first global tournament for Tekken 7. There may also be controller compatibility for the arcade cabinets to support the global community. Missing from the lineup is Under Night In Birth and Blazblue, but this is an incredible lineup featuring multiple consoles. Another notable game missing from the main lineup is King of Fighters XIII, which will have a side tournament at EVO, but will not have main stage support.
