The team behind Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has revealed ambitious plans to support the upcoming fighter well beyond its initial release, potentially carrying it into the PlayStation 6 era. This exciting news emerged during EVO 2025, where producer Takeshi Yamanaka confirmed the developers' commitment to a decade-long roadmap for the game, provided it achieves commercial success.

First unveiled at June's PlayStation State of Play, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls combines Arc System Works' signature 2.5D cel-shaded aesthetic with Marvel's iconic superhero roster. The game's striking visual style and fast-paced 4v4 combat immediately captured fighting game enthusiasts' attention.

Currently, eight playable characters have been confirmed: Captain America, Ms. Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Star-Lord, Iron Man, and Storm. Players will get their first hands-on experience during a closed beta running September 5-7, 2025, exclusively for PlayStation 5 users.

The long-term vision for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls could see the game transition to Sony's next console generation. While the PlayStation 6 remains officially unannounced, industry rumors point to a potential 2027 launch window. This aligns perfectly with Arc System Works' track record of supporting titles like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Guilty Gear -Strive- across multiple years.

Though the full release is currently slated for 2026 on PS5 and PC, many speculate the game will launch before EVO 2026 to capitalize on the fighting game community's biggest annual event. The developers' commitment suggests regular content updates, balance patches, and potentially new character additions throughout the game's lifecycle.

This extended support model reflects the growing trend of fighting games as live-service titles. With Sony's backing and Arc System Works' fighting game expertise, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls could establish itself as a competitive staple for years to come, bridging the gap between console generations.
