EVO Japan is taking place in January next year, and the folks behind it have revealed another mainstage game for the event. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has officially joined the EVO Japan 2020 line up.

During the Nintendo Live Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenge Cup grand finals, it was announced that the game would not only be a part of the competition, but Smash Bros. Ultimate is set to be the headlining game at EVO Japan next year, IGN reports.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate joins Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 6, Samurai Shodown, and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle on the main EVO Japan line up. At this time, Street Fighter 5 is still absent from the list of games despite being featured at past EVO Japan events.

EVO Japan is taking place on January 24 through 26, which happens to be the same dates that Genesis 7 is running over in Oakland, California. The Genesis tournament series is one of the largest Smash Bros. competitions in the world — known as the "world's largest grassroots smash event" — so this may leave Smash Bros. players a bit conflicted as to which tournament they'll be headed to.

EVO Japan had seven main games in 2018, while the line up consisted of six main titles in 2019. With five games announced for 2020, there's a good chance we'll see at least one more major game at the event.
