Everything We Know About MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls

🎮 Evo Showcase Confirmed + Early Details Revealed!

The creators of Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ, Arc System Works, are teaming up with Marvel to deliver a brand-new 2D fighting game — and it’s already shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the genre and the Marvel universe alike. 💥

While some fans are still wondering if Marvel vs Capcom will ever return, this new title — MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls — looks ready to fill that void with high-octane combat, iconic characters, and a fresh 4v4 twist.

Here’s everything we know so far👇

📅 Release Date — When is Marvel Tokon Coming Out?

MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls is officially set to launch sometime in 2026. While there’s no exact release date yet, we’re hoping the upcoming Evo 2025 showcase will shed more light.

🕹️ Expect more gameplay, features, and possibly a narrowed-down release window during the event.

🕹️ Platforms — Where Can You Play It?

Confirmed so far:

• PlayStation 5
• PC

No word yet on Xbox or Switch versions, but stay tuned as the devs reveal more in the coming months.

🔥 First Hands-On Demo — Evo 2025 Playable Build

Marvel Tokon will make its playable debut at Evo 2025, held in Las Vegas! 🎉 Attendees will get to try out an early build featuring 6 playable characters.

⚠️ It’ll be a limited demo, but a great glimpse into how the game plays and what sets it apart from past Marvel fighters.

🧩 Gameplay Mechanics — What’s New in Marvel Tokon?

MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls isn’t your typical tag fighter. 🧠 Here’s what’s different:

• 4v4 Combat Format 🔁You’ll select 1 main fighter with 3 support characters for assist-based combat, rather than traditional tag-ins.
• Unlike Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 or Infinite, you won’t be constantly swapping characters mid-fight. Instead, it appears the focus is on strategic assists, more like support slots than tag-outs.

🧐 While this is still speculative, all current screenshots and UI hints suggest this structure.

👍 This system could be a welcome change for newcomers, offering depth without overwhelming complexity — though old-school tag fans might need to adjust.

👥 Confirmed Character Roster (So Far)

Based on the June 2025 State of Play trailer, here’s who’s joining the fight:

• 🛡️ Captain America
• ✨ Ms. Marvel
• 🔥 Ghost Rider
• 🧠 Iron Man
• 🚀 Star-Lord
• 😈 Doctor Doom
• 🕷️ Spider-Man
• ⚡ Storm

Expect more characters to be revealed as we approach Evo and beyond — Marvel has a massive roster to pull from, and ArcSys is known for bringing personality to every fighter.

🧠 Final Thoughts

MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls is shaping up to be a standout new entry in both the fighting game scene and Marvel’s gaming lineup. Between the gorgeous ArcSys art, unique gameplay structure, and beloved characters, it’s already building major hype.

🎤 Stay tuned — we’ll have more details after Evo 2025, where we’ll finally see how this promising title stacks up in live competition!
