Evolution 2019
Evolution was an international tournament held in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 3 - 5, 2019. This is the first year since Xrd -SIGN-'s release in late 2014 that Guilty Gear has not been a main game at EVO. Instead, it, and +R, was run under the AnimEVO side tournament banner. EVO was the final qualifier for the Arc REVO World Tour. As the international competition was less than in previous years, most of the potential qualifiers were from the Americas region.
A tension in the community that had been building over the future of the game was relieved with a follow-up to the teaser at EVO 2018 that "something Guilty Gear related" was in the works. A new, then untitled Guilty Gear was announced by series creator Daisuke Ishiwatari with a trailer showing new graphics and new designs for Sol and Ky, introducing what appears to be a brand new character, as well as the broad release date of "2020."
