News coverage centers on Marvel Tōkon’s rocky launch and reception: underwhelming sales in Japan, PC performance and heavy DRM concerns after cracked copies appeared, and generally poor early-week performance. Alongside that, outlets are pushing a narrative that a “redemption arc” is needed to offset broader disappointment in 2D fighting games.

When the Krakoan Era ended, fans were sure Marvel would find a way to redeem the original Beast, but instead X-Men has doubled down on replacing him with his clone. However, the tease of his potential death has fans once again speculating that Marvel is going to find a way to merge the two versions of the character. Meanwhile, Cyclops has become the backbone of the X-Men franchise and is more popular than ever, but that would make his death in DNX even more impactful. A new era is dawning for the X-Men later this year - one in which they'll replac
