In our final episode of 2025, we break down the flood of announcements from the last two weeks across the FGC. The Game Awards delivered new 2XKO character reveals, a console launch update, the Street Fighter movie trailer, and a bit of news on Marvel Tokon. We also dive into the EVO announcement show, covering dates, featured games, and format changes coming to EVO 2026. We’re excited for what’s ahead—but we can’t ignore the rising cost of attending the biggest fighting game tournament of the year.
