Fighting game fans hoping to pair a first-party PlayStation controller with Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will have to wait a bit longer. Sony has indefinitely delayed FlexStrike, its proprietary wireless fight stick, which was originally set to launch alongside the game in August. What Went Wrong The delay comes down to manufacturing issues. Sony hasn't laid out a detailed timeline for when FlexStrike will actually ship, which means the once-neat pairing of a flagship fighting game and a matching first-party controller is now off the table, at least for launch day. A Frustrating Timing Mismatch For a company that clearly wanted FlexStrike positioned as the go-to hardware for its next big fighting-game push, an indefinite delay is a rough outcome. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will still launch in August as planned, but players eager to jump in with Sony's own stick will need to look at third-party alternatives in the meantime — or simply wait for FlexStrike to sort out its production problems. What's Next With no firm new release window announced, all eyes will be on whether Sony can get manufacturing back on track before interest in a launch-tie-in accessory fades. Fighting stick fans have plenty of established third-party options to fall back on in the meantime, but a first-party PlayStation stick built specifically for this generation was a notable draw — one that's now on indefinite hold.
