Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls gets X-Men trailer and release date

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, the new fighting game from Arc System Works, finally has a release date. However, despite several playable beta tests already happening, the full game won't be arriving for quite a while yet. 

Due to the number of opportunities fans have had to try this game already, we had anticipated a first half of 2026 release date. However, Arc System Works is taking its time to ensure the full roster is balanced and all gameplay sequences are up to the best possible quality bar. As a result, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls isn't releasing until August 2026.

The new trailer for the game, released last night as part of the State of Play showcase, there will be 20 iconic Marvel characters available on the launch-day roster, all reimagined with Japanese style art. Post launch, there will be four additional characters released as DLC.

Some of the confirmed characters appearing in the game include Iron Man, Captain America, Storm, Doctor Doom, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Wolverine, Star Lord, Magik and Ms Marvel.

KitGuru Says: The same care and attention Arc System Works brought to Dragonball FighterZ is on full display here with Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.
