Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls leak reveals 20-character roster and 64-player online
A Steam page leak reveals Arc System Works' Marvel fighter will support massive 64-player online lobbies and launch with 20 heroes and villains in anime-inspired art. The PlayStation collaboration targets 2026 release.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will launch with 20 Marvel characters and 64-player online lobbies, according to details that briefly appeared on the game's Steam page before being removed. The leak, archived by ResetEra users, reveals new information about PlayStation XDEV and Arc System Works' fighting game ahead of a planned State of Play event later this week.
What the leak revealed
The accidentally published Steam page confirmed Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will feature "an expanding roster of 20 iconic Marvel characters at launch, each rendered in a bold new anime-inspired art style." Players will form teams of heroes and villains, experimenting with combinations to discover new combos and synergies.
The game promises dynamic stages based on Marvel Universe locations, with some featuring interactive stage transitions. Combat will offer "adjustable controls, both traditional and quick inputs, plus easy chain combos" to make the game accessible to newcomers whilst providing depth for veterans.
Online features and single-player mode
One standout feature is the massive 64-player online lobbies, significantly larger than typical fighting game gatherings. Players can face off locally or "join the fray with up to 64 players in the online lobby, including standard VS modes."
For solo players, Marvel Tokon includes a single-player Episode Mode designed to "dive deep on each team" and explore "team dynamics and lore." This story-focused mode should provide context for the Marvel characters and their relationships within the game's universe.
Development and release details
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is being developed by PlayStation XDEV in partnership with Arc System Works, the studio behind Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. The collaboration was first announced last summer, with the game set for a 2026 release.
The Steam page indicates PC players will need a PlayStation account, suggesting tight integration with PlayStation's ecosystem. Whilst PlayStation platforms seem certain, the full list of supported systems hasn't been officially confirmed.
