EVO 2026 is live in Las Vegas this weekend (June 26–28), and one of the most anticipated fighting games of the year has a spot at the Showcase Stage: MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the 4v4 tag-team fighter from Arc System Works and PlayStation Studios. It drops on PS5 and PC on August 6, and PlayStation SEA has locked in official Singapore pricing.
A 4v4 Marvel Fighter Built by the Guilty Gear Team
At the wheel is Arc System Works — the Yokohama studio behind Guilty Gear Strive, BlazBlue: Central Fiction and Dragon Ball FighterZ — which means Tōkon arrives with serious fighting-game DNA. Published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, it runs on Unreal Engine 5 and is built around the PS5’s DualSense controller, with haptic feedback and Tempest 3D audio woven into the experience.
The format is a distinctive 4v4 tag team system: you start with a primary fighter and one assist, then unlock the rest of your lineup mid-match by hitting conditions like damage thresholds. It layers a build-up strategy over the brawling that goes beyond a straight character swap.
Beyond the fights there is a full Episode Mode — roughly 10 hours of motion-comic storytelling illustrated by manga artists, with voice acting across 10 languages. It doubles as a crash course in Marvel lore for anyone not steeped in the comics.
17 Characters Confirmed Across Four Teams — Three Slots Still Open
The base roster lands at 20 fighters split across five teams. Four teams are now fully confirmed:
- Amazing Guardians: Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, Peni Parker
- Fighting Avengers: Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther (Shuri), Hulk
- Knights of Doom: Doctor Doom, Magneto, Green Goblin, Carnage
- Unbreakable X-Men: Storm, Wolverine, Magik, Danger
The fifth team has one confirmed member — Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes) — with three roster spots still open. All three are widely expected to be revealed at EVO 2026 this weekend before the August 6 launch.
What’s Happening at EVO 2026 This Weekend
Arc System Works is running a pre-release tournament at the EVO Showcase Stage in Las Vegas, giving players competitive hands-on time with the full build six weeks before launch. Saturday and Sunday will bring the main competitive brackets across the event’s full game lineup, so the next few days are worth watching even if you are following from Singapore. The official EVO Showcase page has the live stream details.
Singapore Price and Pre-Order Bonuses
PlayStation SEA has confirmed three editions for the August 6 launch:
- Standard Edition: SGD 79.90
- Digital Deluxe Edition: SGD 113.90 — includes the Year 1 pass (four additional characters and one stage) plus cosmetics
- Ultimate Edition: SGD 139 — Deluxe content plus costumes for Storm, Captain America, Doctor Doom, Iron Man and Spider-Man, and character colour unlocks
Pre-orders are open now on the PlayStation Store and participating PC storefronts. Pre-ordering any edition gets you the Infinity Gauntlet lobby equipment, a Baby Groot lobby pet and the Cosmic Surfboard lobby ride. The game releases on August 6, 2026 (August 7 in Japan and Australia).
The Year 1 pass inside the Deluxe and Ultimate editions is worth flagging — four extra characters and a stage suggests Arc System Works has a substantial post-launch content plan lined up alongside whatever gets revealed at EVO this weekend. Full details at the PlayStation SEA blog.
