Arc System Works shocked the fighting game world when Marvel Tokon: Fighting Heroes debuted during the PlayStation State Of Play livestream on June 2. With a sleek anime style and new 4v4 mechanics, ASW’s next project instantly became one of the most highly anticipated games in the fighting scene–and next month, it will be playable at the largest fighting game tournament in the world, Evo 2025.
A new post on the PlayStation Blog gives full details on the upcoming playable Evo build, which will be open to all attendees on the show floor. The demo will feature six characters: Captain America, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Storm, Star-Lord, and Doctor Doom, and all who play will take home a commemorative pin after their demo ends.
Members of the Marvel Tokon development team from both Arc System Works and Marvel Games will also be part of a Developer Combat Panel on the Evo Showcase stage, which will take place Friday, August 1 at 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET. The panel–which will focus on the game’s core gameplay mechanics–will also be livestreamed on the Evo Events YouTube channel.
Evo 2025 is scheduled to take place August 1-3 in the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Along with pro tournaments in Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, and more, the Evo convention floor will also feature demos for upcoming fighting games, including 2XKO, as well as what the Evo website calls the “second-largest arcade in the US” with over 250 cabinets, crane games, and more.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is scheduled for launch in 2026 on PlayStation 5 and PC.
