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.

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.

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.
