Captured by ShinKensou on YouTube, Arc System Works producer Takeshi Yamanaka said at the game’s EVO panel (translation by PlayStation Studios senior producer Reed Baird), “For the next 10 years, we plan to keep making this game the best experience ever.”

A ten-year plan isn’t exactly unheard of in gaming (and sees its fair share of jeering), but Arc System Works is no stranger to long-term support for its titles. Guilty Gear Strive, which launched in 2021, will receive its next DLC fighter, Lucy from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, later this month. It’s also planning a massive 2.0 update for launch next year alongside two new characters, rumored to be Robo-Ky and Jam.

In the short term, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls will host a closed beta from September 5th to 7th. You can learn more here and check out the beginner’s guide video here.

That’s not all. Sony, Marvel Games and Arc System Works will host a Developer Combat Panel on August 1st at 8 PM PT, which will stream live on YouTube. Fans can look forward to new details on the “core gameplay mechanics.” Thus far, we’ve seen all the traditional tag fighter mechanics, including assists and combo breakers.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls doesn’t have a concrete release date, but it will be available for PS5 and PC at launch. While the focus is on Marvel’s signature “faces,” Arc System Works also wants to include characters brand new to the fighting game format. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
