Yesterday afternoon Joey “Mr Wizard” Cuellar announced on Twitter that the Evo 2017 Announcement show will take place on January 24th. Everything that EVO 2017 has in-stock is going to be showcased at this event, and most-importantly we’re going to find out what games will be a part of the official line-up.

The event is going to be hosted by Mike Ross, the People’s Champ of Street Fighter and one of the co-hosts of Cross Counter TV.
This news is coming a couple days after Cuellar posted a poll on Twitter to decide which NetherRealm Studios’ game people would rather see at EVO 2017: Injustice 2 or Mortal Kombat XL. The poll was pretty close, but the winner was Injustice 2 with a 59% majority out of 2,717 votes. It looks like a sad day for Mortal Kombat because there is a high possibility it won’t be at EVO this year.
7 games for EVO2017? My guess is SFV, Melee, Smash 4, Revelator, Tekken 7, KOFXIV, MKX (or Injustice2)
Honorable mention: Skullgirls, mvc3
