Sony Interactive Entertainment and Arc System Works have announced that MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls will have a closed beta test for PlayStation 5 from September 5 to 7, 2025. This is an exciting news for fans of Marvel and fighting games!
About MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls
MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls is a new 4v4 tag-team fighting game with Marvel heroes and villains. The closed beta lets PS5 players try it early. You can play as six characters: Captain America, Iron Man, Doctor Doom, Storm, Star-Lord, and Ms. Marvel. Each has unique moves and cool combos, reimagined with anime-style visuals. The beta includes Marvel’s New York City as a stage, with areas like City Center, Avengers Park, and Hell’s Kitchen.
The beta offers online matches with a 64-player lobby using cute Chibi Marvel avatars. It uses rollback netcode for smooth online play and has a spectator mode to watch other players’ fights. There’s also a training tutorial to learn the game’s mechanics and limited offline matches. A “Startup Battle” mode against the computer helps new players get started.
How to Join Beta
To join the beta, you can sign up on the official PlayStation website with your PlayStation Network account. If you’re already in the PlayStation Beta Program, you’re automatically registered, but you still need an invitation email to play.
Codes will be sent to selected players before September 5. The beta runs from September 5 in PDT (Pacific Time) and September 6 in JST (Japan Time) and UTC.
The game is set to release in 2026 for PS5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. No Xbox version has been announced. Developers say they plan to support the game for 10 years to make it the best Marvel fighter ever.
