Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls Is A New Fighting Game From Arc System Works

I
really
didn’t
see
this
one
coming
at
the
latest
PlayStation
State
of
Play:
Sony
has
teamed
up
with
Arc
System
Works
to
create
a
brand
new
fighting
game
set
in
the
Marvel
Universe

The
new
game
–
due
to
launch
sometime
in
2026
for
PS5,
Steam
and
Epic
–
features
Japanese
versions
of
classic
Marvel
heroes
and
villains
battling
it
out
in
4v4
tag-team
action.

Apparently,
it
was
Sony
that
approached
Arc
System
Works
and
Marvel
with
the
idea.

“From
the
beginning,
we
aimed
to
make
MARVEL
Tōkon:
Fighting
Souls
a
title
that
could
be
enjoyed
by
a
wide
variety
of
players,”
said
Game
Director
and
Lead
Battle
Designer,
Kazuto
Sekine.

”Generally,
a
team
VS
fighting
game
requires
the
player
to
learn
multiple
characters,
but
for
MARVEL
Tōkon:
Fighting
Souls,
you
only
need
to
master
one
character
in
order
to
play
the
game.
We
have
designed
the
mechanics
in
such
a
way
that
you
can
perform
a
variety
of
actions
with
either
traditional
fighting
game
inputs
or
simple
inputs.
With
the
press
of
a
few
buttons,
multiple
characters
can
appear
on
screen
to
provide
backup
or
attack
together
–
creating
a
new
and
exciting
team
VS
battle
experience.”

The
gorgeous
trailer
shows
off
Arc
System
Work’s
beautiful
style,
and
gives
us
a
pretty
solid
look
at
the
gameplay.
It
looks
like
you
can
blast
fighters
off
the
screen
into
other
arenas.
