Another week during a major fighting game event, this time EVO Japan 2026, Arc System Works dropped a new trailer for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. This time, it introduced a new team, the Fighting Avengers, and while Captain America and Iron Man are old, it featured some fresh fighters in Black Panther and Hulk.
While the developer is bringing the newest build with these characters to Combo Breaker 2026 on May 22nd and Hong Kong Comic Con on May 29th, there are still plenty of reveals to come. That said, producer Takeshi Yamanaka confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that development is “entering its final stages” and that “the entire team is working hard every day to deliver the best possible experience at launch.”
Thus far, 13 characters and five stages (including Wakanda) have been revealed – all playable at the above-mentioned events. Based on rumors, there seem to be 20 characters at launch, so there’s still plenty of time before their reveals. We may even see the new additions included in the Year One Characters and Stage Pass alongside an open beta at some point.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is available on August 6th for PS5 and PC for $59.99. It sees Earth’s mightiest heroes (and a few villains) teaming up to take on each other en route to facing The Champion, an Elder who craves combat and will destroy a planet if he’s not satisfied.
