As many predicted, Arc System Works was on hand during Sony's PlayStation State of Play to reveal new details about the upcoming fighting game, Marvel Token: Fighting Soulsincluding the game's release date. Fans have been hungry for new information about the Marvel fighter after previous reveals of the first 8 characters and some closed beta tests in 2025. With Marvel Token: Fighting Souls slated for a 2026 launch, it was only a matter of time before news finally surfaced.

In fact, new details arrived earlier than Sony and Arc System Works probably intended. Following a new PlayStation State of Play announcement for February 12, Marvel Token: Fighting Souls The Steam page also received a subtle update, giving fans new details that hadn't yet been released. It confirmed a launch roster of 20 heroes, 64-player online lobbies, a PSN account requirement for PC users, as well as a single-player mode that would give players a deep dive into the various teams in the game. With the newly released trailer, the “teams” dynamic is now starting to take shape.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Release Date

During Sony's PlayStation State of Play on February 12, 2026, Marvel Token: Fighting Souls revealed a 2-minute trailer with tons of new information. Players started on Chandilar, the Shi'ar Homeworld, and saw what appeared to be the bodies of Deathbird and Gladiator before the planet was essentially vaporized. As they transitioned to Earth, a purple storm cloud appeared and enveloped the sky, giving fans their first look at the game's overall story.

From there, the trailer revealed the first full team of characters, all part of the Unbreakable X-Men. While players have seen Storm before Marvel Token: Fighting Souls trailers, she was joined by Wolverine, Magik and Danger. While the first three have appeared in plenty of other games and media, Danger is the physical manifestation of the X-Mansion's Danger Room, where Xavier's mutants train. The character first appeared in 2005's Astonishing X-Men (Vol. 3), the room itself seemingly brought to life thanks to Shi'ar technology. The trailer highlighted many of the character's impressive super and ultimate attacks, including a huge, elegant teamup that incorporated all four characters.

An accompanying blog post revealed a bit more about the previously announced Episode Mode, a collaboration between ArcSys and Marvel Games to mix American comics and Japanese manga to tell the game's story. Animated comics illustrated by famous artists will detail the story, which is teased to be written by “a famous writer from the original Marvel comics.”

Fit the 9 games into the grid.

In addition, the reveal also confirmed pre-order bonuses and special editions that players can pre-order, starting on February 19th with the game officially launching on August 6th. Anyone who pre-orders the game will unlock lobby cosmetics for their avatar, including an Infinity Gauntlet, a Baby Groot lobby pet, and a rideable Cosmic Surfboard.
