Spider-Man will be playable in next Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls beta

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, the new fighting game from Arc System Works, is getting another beta test soon. This time around, fans will get access to even more of the character roster, including Spider-Man for the first time.

The new beta test will be taking place on December 5th and will run right through to the end of December 8th, giving fans three full days to put the game through its paces. The previous beta test allowed fans to check out characters like Iron Man, Captain America, Storm, Doctor Doom and more. This new beta test is notable thanks to the addition of two more fan-favourite characters – Spider-Man and Ghost Rider.

In the announcement trailer above you can see some new gameplay for both Spider-Man and Ghost Rider, both of which will be in the full roster of characters at launch.

Unlike traditional tag fighters, Fighting Souls introduces a 4v4 system. Matches begin with one primary fighter and an assist character, but as battles progress, players unlock access to their full team. This mechanic is tied to mid‑match conditions such as damage thresholds and “Wall Breaks,” a feature borrowed from Guilty Gear Strive that transitions fights across multiple arenas.

There is no release date for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls just yet, but the full game will be launching on PS5 and PC sometime in 2026.

KitGuru Says: I became an Arc System Works fan through Dragon Ball Fighterz, and it looks like that same level of attention to detail is carrying over nicely to Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. We will no doubt see this game play a pivotal role at next year's EVO fighting game tournaments.
