Following the recent announcement at EVO that Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls would get its first closed beta on PlayStation 5 next month, developers reveal that they plan on supporting the new 4v4 tag fighter for at least a decade.
During the game's on-stage panel at EVO 2025, which can be caught via attendees' YouTube clips, PlayStation Studios senior producer Reed Baird, Arc System Works producer Takeshi Yamanaka, and Marvel Games senior product development manager Michael Francisco say that they don't just hope to make Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls great at launch – they want to continue improving the fighter for many years to come.
"For the next 10 years," as Baird translates following Yamanaka's own statement, "we plan to keep making this game the best experience ever." That's quite a long time, but judging by the lifespan of other genre giants, it wouldn't exactly be unheard of for a fighter to survive (and even thrive) years after its initial release date. It is, however, surprising to hear just over two months after Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls was first announced.
