Game overview
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a 2.5D tag team fighting game developed by Arc System Works and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, in collaboration with Marvel Games. It launches on PlayStation 5 and PC on August 6, 2026, with a launch roster of 20 playable characters rendered in an anime-inspired art style.
Combat system
Matches use a 4v4 team format played across a best-of-five round structure. Players begin with a single character and gradually unlock the rest of their team by fulfilling mid-match conditions such as damage accumulation and Wall Breaks, which also transition the fight across different sections of a stage.
- Each character has Light, Medium, and Heavy normal attacks, a character-specific Unique Attack, and a Quick Skill button for one-button special moves.
- A Skill Gauge powers EX attacks and, when fully charged, a cinematic Ultimate Skill. Multiple Ultimate Skills can be chained across the team via the Assemble Gauge.
- Off-screen characters can be called in as assists using a directional Assemble input.
- Active tag allows swapping the active character mid-match.
- Tōkon Assemble is a once-per-match all-out team attack, available only under specific gauge and round conditions.
Game modes
- Episode Mode — single-player story mode with original narrative content set in the Marvel Universe.
- Online multiplayer — casual and ranked modes with cross-play between PS5 and PC, and lobbies supporting up to 64 players.
- Local versus — two-player matches on a single system.
