The summer's most anticipated fighting game launches on August 6, 2026, on PC and PS5, at 8am Pacific — an unusual launch time that breaks from the usual local-midnight rollout.

A brand-new 4v4 team system

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is built around a 4v4 tag-team system, wrapped in anime-inspired visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5. The project brings together Arc System Works (Guilty Gear, Dragon Ball FighterZ), Marvel Games, and PlayStation Studios.

The launch roster

Twenty playable characters are confirmed at launch, split into five fixed teams — including the "Unbreakable X-Men," led by Storm alongside Wolverine, Magik, and Danger. Also featured: Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Ms. Marvel, Ghost Rider, and Star-Lord.
