Marvel Games and Arc System Works team up for new 4v4 fighting game
Marvel Games and Arc System Works are creating an original new fighting game with Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a 4v4 tag-fighter. Arc showed off the new game during Sony’s State of Play event on Wednesday, with a hype teaser trailer showing off the gorgeous game.
Anime interpretations of characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Ms. Marvel, Storm, Star-Lord, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, and Doctor Doom are seen in the clip fighting with over-the-top attacks and finishers. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls will be released for PlayStation 5 and Windows PC in 2026.
The 2.5D fighter is a new direction for Marvel fighting games, as Marvel’s heroes and villains have historically been associated with Capcom.
Capcom and Marvel first worked together in 1993, with the release of the beat-’em-up game The Punisher. The game’s success led to a fruitful relationship between the two companies throughout the ’90s, with iconic titles like Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs Street Fighter, and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter. This series of games kick started the Marvel vs. Capcom franchise, which yielded four titles, with the last game being the commercial failure that was 2017’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite — a game devoid of X-Men or any other character owned by 20th Century Fox at the time.
Capcom and Marvel most recently worked together on 2024’s Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics. The move made fans believe that a potential fourth MvC game was on the way, and while it still could happen, it appears Marvel has other plans for its fighting game endeavors.
