Well, who saw this one coming? The fighting game masters at Japanese developer Arc System Works have been brought in to make a new Marvel brawler — and it's being published by Sony under the PlayStation Studios umbrella.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is coming to both PS5 and PC in 2026 — but we've already been given a good eyeful of the title through the above trailer. As expected of Arc System Works — of Guilty Gear Strive and Dragon Ball FighterZ fame — the game looks insanely pretty.
This is a 4v4 fighter, but you can choose how to use your team of super heroes (or villains). You can main one character and have three assists, or swap between all four. More info's coming soon.
Have you picked your jaw off the floor yet? Don't drop that combo in the comments section below.

Arc System Works are one of my favourite fighting game devs, I am very excited to see more of this!
Looks amazing. Sony is goin all in with fighting games.
OMG we are eating a freaking god tier exclusive hell yeah i love dragon ball fighterz so yeah another d1
I've said for ages that PlayStation needs its own fighting game. This is not what I was expecting, and I'm all for it.
This game looked badass, also for Sony to have a console Exclusive fighting game from Arc System works is a big deal.
Also the XDev team puts in the work on a ton of Playstation games. Give them their props.
For years I wanted Sony to work with Arc System works to make a fighting game. Of course I wanted PlayStation AllStars but this is the best consolation prize. Hell Marvel Vs PlayStation would make for a great sequel.
Wow technically a first party fighting game! didn't expect that and despite my Marvel fatigue I can say this looks amazing.
I didn't expect that this was what Arc System Works was working on. And in collaboration with Sony. Arc System Works x XDev. My expectations are high of course.
This is crazy, never would have imagined Sony would develop a Marvel fighting game with Arc System works. I do want to see the complete roster, seeing Storm leads me to believe Wolverine is out there and hoping for Gambit as well
Maximillian Dood is losing his mind
I hate all Marvel stuff, but as a fan of fighting games, this actually looked amazing!
Wondering if this will be a live service / F2P game. Hope not
Do wish it had a 1 on 1 mode.
Lol it's marvel 4 without capcom. 🤣
Looks impressive!
This looks amazing and I can't wait to play it, but big WTF on it not being Capcom. Considering that they just recently launched the MvC Collection, I had guessed that Disney and Capcom were back in talks, but I guess not?
It looks so good!
Im sad to find out that Capcom will probably never get to a Marvel Vs Capcom after this was announced, but Arc System make some of my most favourite fighting games, so if it isn’t Capcom, I am not too sad with Arc making this. Who knows, perhaps there is a future acquisition for Sony here?
Totally unexpected! Glad not everything gets leaked by those ‘insiders’, this really surprised me. I’m totally hyped for this one! Lovin the art style 😍
Sony officially enters the arena! Im hyped! Still can't believe that ASW was able to hide this from us without any hints lol.
@AdamNovice Hey if this works out Get them to make Playstation Allstars 2 as well.
I can get the excitement from fighting community and I respect that.
With that said, spending last 5-10 minutes of a Not-E3 stream with a dev diary of this without "One More Thing" after that was very anticlimactic and stupid.
Dang, 4v4 is just crazy!!!
I enjoyed watching team based fighting games like KoF and MvC. But not a big fan of them because the amount of times to learn how to play 3 characters are just massive. But this game is 4v4 take it to a whole new level.
It looks sicks as hell though and my guess Sony probably pitched this idea to Capcom but they turned it down for whatever reason.
@Scottyy No it's not stupid. Ended the stream with this game and the behind scene was a good choice. Sony wants this game to take the spotlight.
Dang, this does look really good. Add Psylocke to this please.
@PuppetMaster
It was very anticlimactic and it was not a place for a dev diary and being the last thing in the show with that.
Looks pretty sweet, 4v4 looked insane. Can't wait for the beta. At the end it says it will also be available on steam so hopefully cross play too.
@Ashina A whole hour later and Max still losing his mind.
Anyways I think both MvC and Tokkon will happen.
Tokkon is exclusive to PS5 and PC, MvC might be a true multiplatform title.
Hands down the worst announcement of the show.
Yeah, that's another one on the want list.
I don't play fighting games and I still think this looks good. I won't play it but I get it.
My dude Iron Man looks dope. Like a straight up Gundam type. I love it. Doom's design looks dope too.
MAHVELMAHVELMAHVELMAHVELMAHVELMAHVELMAHVELMAHVELMAHVEL

Pardon my language, but this looks like the bomb diggity.
I only played BlazBlue. I liked them for making BlazBlue. They do make great fighting games. But I only care about BlazBlue. I wish someone would take the story of blazblue and turn it into an RPG. And it could have the whole story in it. That would be really cool.
Does this mean we eventually get a Playstation AllStars tagteam fighter? (SONY, DO IT)
The only thing that sucks about this game is that I can't play it today 😭
I love the anime style flair that all the characters have. Such a labour of love.
@Lowdefal Sony helped Capcom funded SF V which only released for PS4 and PC. Sony and Capcom are close partners in many projects or events including fighting games events. So it's not a far fetch idea if Sony pithced this game to Capcom before they go with ArcSys.
Looks very good. Just wish I was into fighters. Marvel cosmic invasion is more my jam.
I would have preferred a multi platform release but I will get this eventually. It’s just I’d migrated away from PS for fighting games and now I have to come back for one. I may wait to see if sony publishes on other systems or at least PC.
I feel like Peach Momoko has been reviving Marvel in the East.
And like that folks, peak has finally arrived lol
Wow. I hope the Doods are okay...
Really though, this is a dream game for a ton of people. Love to see it.
@Ryu_Niiyama it is coming to pc, look at the last second of the trailer, it shows the ps5 & steam logo
This is one of the highlights that made the SoP June 2025 one of the best SoP ever! I'm so excited!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@BrintaPap Cool!
Love this! Ever since injustice I was thinking I wanted a pure marvel fighting game and we're finally here.
Looks excellent, love fighting games and along with a new fighting stick should be good fun.
I have never used a wireless stick though, anyone got any feedback on if they are laggy at all, I thought they were all wired at comps etc don't think I have ever seen a wireless one, I use the Hori Fighting Pro on the PS4 but have yet to pick up a PS5 one!
I rather move in 3D. Guess Im sticking with Marvel Rivals
@Ken_Kaniff It's the worst if one was an inbred, joyless, slack jawed Neanderthal. Like you, for example.
Otherwise, easily the highlight of the show.
@sjack Nice. I love to see you ignorant trashy type come out of your hole to just belittle someone over there opinion of a game.
