The wait is finally over. Arc System Works officially confirmed the launch date for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls during Sony’s recent PlayStation State of Play. The highly anticipated fighter hits shelves on August 6, 2026.
Fans previously relied on leaks from beta tests, but this announcement solidifies the timeline. Furthermore, the game’s Steam page received a quiet update. It confirms a launch roster of 20 heroes, 64-player online lobbies, and a mandatory PSN account for PC users.
The latest trailer dropped a massive reveal for the roster. It introduced the “Unbreakable X-Men” team. While Storm appeared in previous teasers, she now has backup. Wolverine, Magik, and Danger join the fray.
Danger is a standout addition. First appearing in 2005’s Astonishing X-Men, this character is the physical manifestation of the X-Mansion’s Danger Room. The trailer showcased her origins in Shi’ar technology. Additionally, it highlighted a stylish team-up Ultimate attack featuring all four mutants.
Arc System Works and Marvel Games are blending American comics with Japanese manga for the narrative. An accompanying blog post details the new “Episode Mode”. This single-player experience dives deep into the game’s various teams.
Celebrated artists illustrate the motion comics, while a “renowned writer from the original Marvel comics” penned the script. The story teaser is grim. It shows the apparent death of Gladiator and Deathbird on the Shi’ar Homeworld, followed by a purple storm cloud enveloping Earth.
Pre-orders open on February 19, 2026. Early buyers receive immediate lobby cosmetics. These include an Infinity Gauntlet, a Baby Groot lobby pet, and a rideable Cosmic Surfboard.
Players can choose from two special editions:
