The Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls finally hit the shelves after such secrecy for so long, and the hype is very real. Putting forth a new perspective on the fighting game genre while utilizing beloved Marvel characters, the title is in development by PS Studios Creative under collaboration with XDEV, Arc System Works, and Marvel. One of the developers just cannot keep the excitement away from them and spilled the beans can finally see the light of day through a Tweet.
The Tweet went viral with the passion behind the project spilling through: Now this is one the dev has got to share about: “Had the pleasure of working on Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls for the last couple of years!! Couldn’t be more proud of our team,” the dev writer shared. The post brings into light major names on the collaboration Arc System Works, known for titles such as Guilty Gear and Dragon Ball FighterZ. That alone has got gamers excited about the possibility of super-tight and flashy combat mechanics.
What, then, is Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls supposed to be? Lack of information is the only hindrance, but judging by the name, one can safely say it stands for an amalgam of Marvel’s Famous cast into a mere fighting game that can probably hold its own against fans of Marvel vs. Capcom. Their presence sort of implies, of course, that this will be a visually stunning and vertex-paced brawler-a sort of effort that Arc System Work have been pouring into down to an art form already-apart from that, with approval from Marvel means a cast of heavy hitter socalled fan favorites… perhaps that include a few curveball picks.
The reply feed is filled with excitement, curiosity, and absurd theories. One user asked if Kohei Horikoshi, the father from My Hero Academia, had joined the party-no confirmation yet, although. Another went wild asking for the wacky characters Sakura Spider and Neiro Aratabi to get in, showing how much the entire Marvel fandom cares. And then again, there are the fighter wishlists, the usual: Punisher, Gambit, and even the crossover selections like Jotaro from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures.
Now, expect the skeptics to rise to their feet. One gamer said marketing should have been Ampth-style; siphoned off a discrete Sony showcase rather than teasing it into a State of Play. Others were saddened about the prospect of the game never even reaching them, whether because of platform exclusivity or, you know, life in general. But nearly universal positive exposure sees a bunch of these guys say it is the most exciting reveal of recent years.
Hence it must be said: Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is pacing itself as one of the stars of fighting games. With a profoundly talented team backing up and the whole universe of Marvel being thrown into the mix, this will surely be the forthcoming blockbuster from superhero brawlers. Now the question remains: when will the public get to see some gameplay? And, perhaps thus far: When do we get to play?
Now, everything else lies waiting. And judging by early reactions, this will for sure be a game worth the hype. Be it for Marvel buffs, ardent fighting game players, or the ones who just want to see a spectacle- Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is one to keep marked on your radar.
