Fighting game players have been waiting for a new Marvel vs. Capcom title since 2017’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. While there’s no word of one on the way, the closest possible thing was announced at a recent PlayStation State of Play showcase. Now, players are getting a chance to check it out early.
When its trailer first appeared, you could easily have mistaken Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls for a new Marvel vs. Capcom game. It’s full of Marvel characters, features an art style extremely similar to the original games in the series, and shows off assist characters and tag-team fights, both of which have been featured in the series before. It is, however, lacking the Capcom side, consisting entirely of Marvel characters. Despite that big change, everything that’s been shown off so far has fighting game players excited, and a closed beta on PS5 will give some a chance to play it this September, ahead of the game’s 2026 launch. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will be launching on PC as well, but no beta for PC has been announced yet.
