We are currently refining the game design based on feedback from event demos and Closed Beta Tests 1 & 2. Some improvements are visible in the trailer, including updates to the Assist mechanic, faster characters switching, and adjustments to Link Attacks.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is currently in development for PC and PS5, and takes the form of a 2.5D fight that allows players to choose from an ensemble of iconic Marvel characters. Fighting Souls supports a 4v4 system allowing you to alternate between one primarily combatant and three assist fighters, which can be called into battle for extra offence or enabling the lead character to be swapped out for other fighters.
