Following an open beta affected by stuttering and high CPU usage, Arc System Works promises Day 1 fixes for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls ahead of its August 6 release.
Arc System Works and Sony Interactive Entertainment used their San Diego Comic-Con panel to drop two significant pieces of news for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. The headline reveal was the game's first post-launch DLC character, arriving fall 2026: Phoenix Cyclops, a surprise pick that outpaced fan speculation about which X-Men favorite would get the add-on treatment first.
The open beta for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls runs for three days on PC and PS5, from Friday, July 24 through Sunday, July 26, with regional start times ranging from midnight Pacific to 4pm Japan Standard Time. Unlike the previous closed playtest, which was exclusive to PS5, this beta is available on both PC (via Steam or the Epic Games Store) and PlayStation, downloadable up to two hours before each region's window opens.
