Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a 4v4 tag fighter, and if that sounds like a lot to manage, keep in mind that this isn’t like Marvel vs. Capcom where you’re constantly swapping between multiple heroes and managing several health bars. Rather, you start out being limited to just two characters and meet up with the other members of your team over the course of a match, with those additions also increasing your health bar and skill gauge.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is coming to both PS5 and PC, but the Steam and Epic Games Store version will still require a PlayStation Network login. This means countries that can’t access PSN cannot get the game on PC, and there are over a hundred countries on that list.

Tōkon has three editions: the $60 standard one that has just the game; the $85 digital deluxe edition that includes the game, all the planned DLC characters for year one, a stage pass, a Howard the Duck lobby avatar, and a Cosmo lobby pet; and the $100 ultimate edition which includes all of the above along with five costumes and an animated chromatic color unlock.
