Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Leak: 20-Character Roster & 64-Player Lobbies Revealed Ahead of State of Play

The upcoming Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has leaked ahead of tomorrow’s State of Play. As spotted by quick-eyed users on Resetera, the PlayStation fighting game briefly appeared on Steam before being quickly removed from the platform.

What surfaced was the fighting roster of Marvel heroes, confirming a 20-character roster and a single-player mode. Along with the 20 characters, the game is said to feature a 64-player online lobby that will require PC players to have a PlayStation account - which is likely to frustrate some PC players…

“Choose from an expanding roster of 20 iconic Marvel characters at launch, each rendered in a bold new anime-inspired art style and members of their own unique teams of equally impressive heroes and villains. Experiment with team compositions to discover new combos, synergies, and strategies. Blast your way through dynamic stages based on iconic Marvel Universe locales, some featuring interactive stage transitions.”

“Fighting is both immersive and intuitive, with a range of unique move sets, combos, and strategies to master. Adjustable controls, both traditional and quick inputs, plus easy chain combos make diving right in a breeze. Face off against a friend locally or join the fray with up to 64 players in the online* lobby, including standard VS modes. Plus, dive deep on each team with the single player Episode Mode to learn more about team dynamics and lore.” Wrapped up the game’s description.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls was first revealed during a State of Play last June. Will the game see a stealth drop tomorrow? Arc System Works is developing the game in collaboration with PlayStation Studios and Marvel Games. The game features a 4v4 tag team fighting style and is set to release on PS5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

However, with the recent news of Riot Games laying off employees who just launched 2XKO, will Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls face the same fate? Time will tell. Let us know your thoughts about the next fighting game from PlayStation.
