With EVO Japan 2026 happening over the weekend, ARC System Works and Sony chose the perfect time to drop a new trailer for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. Featuring Captain America and Iron Man, it also introduces two new characters for the roster – Black Panther and Hulk. Together, they make up the Fighting Avengers.
Instead of T’Challa, it’s his sister Shuri who’s taken up the Black Panther mantle and opened up Wakanda as a stage. Possessing incredible agility and razor-sharp claws, she further distinguishes her fighting style with the use of a spear. And that’s not enough, she even relies on an armor-clad panther to rush foes.
As for Hulk, well…he’s Hulk. Grabbing enemies, slamming them into the ground with aggressive grapples (even telling Wolverine to “heal from this, runt”) and losing his temporary. His appearance and dialogue seem to suggest this is his World War Hulk avatar, so hopefully the story mode will shine more.
The Fighting Avengers join the Amazing Guardians and the Unbreakable X-Men as the available teams. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls launches on August 6th for PS5 and PC, and will reportedly feature 20 characters at launch. Four more characters will arrive post-launch in the Year One Characters Pass, so stay tuned for even more reveals in the coming months.
