Arc System Works continues to reveal some high-profile fighters for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, and this time, the villains take center stage. Led by Doctor Doom, the Knights of Doom include the likes of Magneto, Carnage, and the Green Goblin. Take a closer look in the latest trailer.
As a long-time nemesis (and sometimes ally) of the X-Men, Magneto utilizes magnetism to deal significant damage from afar and up close. Spider-Man’s arch-enemy keeps away and focuses more on bombs, while his other big-time foe, Carnage, leaps in with brutal strikes and an unhinged mentality. Suffice it to say that the heroes will have their hands full, especially when trying to defeat the Champion.
Launching on August 6th, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls will be available for PS5 and PC. Previous trailers have confirmed groups such as the Unbreakable X-Men with Wolverine, Storm, Danger, and Magick, and the Fighting Avengers with Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man and Black Panther.
Beyond the online play, there’s also a story in Episode Mode where heroes and villains alike must participate in a tournament against the mysterious Champion with the world at stake. Though there was confusion about whether it would have any playable battles or remain non-interactive like Guilty Gear Strive, Arc System Works quickly clarified that they’re actually “everywhere.”
As for post-launch, the Year 1 Characters and Stage Pass is slated to include four new playable characters and a new stage.
