Marvel Games and Arc System Works have unveiled Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a 4v4 tag-team fighting game set to release in 2026 for PlayStation 5 and PC. The announcement, made during Sony’s State of Play event, marks a new chapter in Marvel’s gaming ventures, moving beyond its traditional collaborations with Capcom.
The reveal trailer showcases anime-style renditions of iconic Marvel characters, including Iron Man, Captain America, Ms. Marvel, Storm, Star-Lord, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, and Doctor Doom, engaging in dynamic, over-the-top battles. The game adopts a 2.5D fighting format, emphasizing fast-paced, tag-based combat that allows players to switch between four characters during matches.
Arc System Works, renowned for titles like Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ, brings its signature visual flair and intricate combat mechanics to the Marvel universe. This collaboration signifies Marvel’s intent to explore new creative directions in the fighting game genre, especially after the mixed reception of 2017’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite.
While the full roster and gameplay details are yet to be disclosed, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls promises to deliver a fresh and exhilarating experience for both Marvel enthusiasts and fighting game aficionados.
