Here's The ‘Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls' Confirmed Fighter List
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls PlayStation's State of Play may not have revealed The Last of Us Part III, but for certain audiences, there were some explosive premieres all the same. Chief among them was the surprise debut of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, an upcoming fighting game from Arc System Works, the developer of Guilty Gear. Previously mainly locked into the Marvel Vs. Capcom series, this is a huge turn for the comic characters in the fighting game space, a 4v4 concept with some brilliant designs and movesets on display already. So far, we have a confirmed list of eight characters coming to Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. They are: Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls There will no doubt be more added and revealed over time, but this is the initial list of confirmations. Many eagle-eyed fans have combed through the footage, mainly the backgrounds of the arenas, and found references to other Marvel characters like Dazzler, Daredevil, Thor, Wasp, Luna Snow and The Fantastic Four. Again, it's the Marvel universe, so those could just be fun easter eggs or indications of something more. Here's Arc producer Takeshi Yamanaka on the roster of Marvel characters: FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder So the idea is that they're attempting to feature heroes that are outside the expansive roster of the history of the Marvel vs. Capcom series, in addition to other fighters we've seen over the years. Ms. Marvel comes to mind as a character that fits that bill (unless I'm missing her appearance somewhere). Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will be out sometime in 2026. It will join 2025's very high-profile Marvel game, Marvel Rivals. Of the eight character reveals, Ms. Marvel, Ghost Rider and Doctor Doom aren't playable in Rivals, albeit that game adds new heroes and villains every single month. Marvel is expanding its footprint at a time when its rival DC is struggling, from the failure of Suicide Squad to the cancellation of a Wonder Woman game. DC's main fighting game series is Injustice, but it's hard to imagine Injustice 3 could match the hype we're seeing from fans here. It's a huge deal, and hopefully we'll hear and see more from the game soon. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Marvel Tokon fighting souls announced by Arc System Works for PS5 in 2026
Marvel fans can look forward to a new fighting game developed by Arc System Works, the studio behind the acclaimed Dragon Ball FighterZ. Announced during the June 2025 Sony State of Play, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will feature popular Marvel heroes and villains in an exciting new 4v4 team-based fighting format. With Capcom stepping back from Marvel fighting games, Arc System Works brings fresh expertise to the franchise's legacy. Capcom's earlier titles, popular in the 1990s, faced challenges related to character licensing—especially around the X-Men—which contributed to the decline of Marvel fighting games over time. Arc System Works, known for fighting game franchises such as Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, and the Persona fighting game series, has a strong reputation for delivering visually stunning and well-balanced gameplay. Their work on Dragon Ball FighterZ was particularly praised for capturing the anime's aesthetic, raising expectations for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The game will feature a robust lineup of characters and a new 4v4 team fighting system, offering fresh gameplay dynamics. So far, confirmed fighters include Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Storm, Dr. Doom, and Ghost Rider, with more to be revealed. The 4v4 format allows players to build large teams, an ambitious approach that will test the developers' ability to maintain game balance. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is set to release on PlayStation 5 in 2026. Fans can watch the debut trailer and a behind-the-scenes development video from the Sony State of Play event, available on The Game Awards' official YouTube channel.
