Red Bull Kumite to Return to France

Following the conclusion of the Red bull Kumite New York event which MenaRD won, there was an additional announcement regarding what comes next for the prestigious tournament. 

It was announced that Red Bull Kumite will return to France where another tournament will take place and will feature fierce competition from all around the world. 

The promotional material featured RobTV who acted as the Battle King and Zhi who was his chaffeur, discussing what comes next. Rob stated that a new tournament was needed and then teased with a miniature model of the Eiffel Tower. 

Other details such as date, participants, venue and time have not been revealed yet, but you can be sure we'll hear something soon. 

This is not new for Red Bull Kumite as in 2021 they did something similar having two tournaments with one in London and the other in Las Vegas. Then Mister Crimson was the winner of the London event while Problem-X emerged victorious in Las Vegas. 

It is unclear whether any of the participants of the New York event will be invited back for the France edition. 

Red Bull Kumite started life from France where it was held in 2016 with Infiltration taking the victory over Tokido that time in the first season of Street Fighter V. Now with a new game, we will see Red Bull Kumite return home with hopefully a new champion.
