Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a tag-based fighting game from Arc System Works, launching August 6, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC. The game emphasizes mobility and dynamic gameplay, with mechanics like multi-dash and free flight enabling aggressive positioning across its diverse roster.

Ahead of its release, the game held an open beta test in late July featuring 15 playable characters including Star-Lord, Ghost Rider, Peni Parker, Magik, and Storm, alongside ranked play and a teaser for an Episode Mode. Arc System Works has been rolling out detailed character guides highlighting each fighter's toolkit - Star-Lord's elemental modes and pressure game, Ghost Rider's chain and scythe attacks, and Peni Parker's drone-based Gadget Launcher among them. The visual presentation draws inspiration from classic fighting game aesthetics, with Captain America's outfit rendered in a comic book shader style reminiscent of UMvC3. Coverage suggests the game has potential to establish itself as a serious competitive fighting title.
