For those who have never heard of Evo, the event is more than just a tournament series for competitive players. There’s the Evo Showcase on August 1, where publisher and developer panels occur, along with interviews, exhibitions, and various other special events. There are also large setups throughout the convention for casual gaming, multiple museums, an artist alley, and a free play arcade featuring original arcade cabinets. No gaming event would be complete without a cosplay contest, along with a vendor village where attendees can get their hands on limited-edition merchandise.
If you’re interested in attending, the three-day badge is priced at $180, covering Friday through Sunday. Individual day tickets are also available, priced at $80 for Friday, $90 for Saturday, and $100 for Sunday.
