Fifteen playable characters are split across four squads, six stages span Marvel locations from NYC to the Savage Land, and you get both online and offline play. Modes on offer include ranked and casual online lobbies, a local versus mode, training mode, a tutorial (Start Up Battle), the social Open Lobby, and three chapters of Episode Mode following the Amazing Guardians. The full launch roster expands to 20 fighters when the game arrives on 6 August.<\/p>\n<h2>Full Beta Roster \u2014 All 15 Characters Across Four Squads<\/h2>\n<p>Each squad has a distinct team identity and visual DNA, which also drives how they combo and assist in the 4v4 tag system:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fighting Avengers:<\/strong> Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unbreakable X-Men:<\/strong> Storm, Magik, Wolverine, Danger<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amazing Guardians:<\/strong> Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, Peni Parker<\/li>\n<li><strong>Samurai Outriders:<\/strong> Ghost Rider, Blade<\/li>\n<li><strong>Knights of Doom:<\/strong> Doctor Doom, Magneto<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/marvel-tokon-wolverine-adamantium-claws.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wolverine close-up with adamantium claws in MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Marvel \/ PlayStation Studios \/ Arc System Works<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One fighter worth highlighting: <strong>Blade makes his fighting-game debut in T\u014dkon<\/strong>. The Samurai Outriders squad pairs him with Ghost Rider, leaning into the dark-supernatural aesthetic that Arc System Works has rendered in their signature cel-shaded style. His moveset is built around speed and relentless pressure, and this beta is your first chance to take him out for a spin in a competitive setting.<\/p>\n<h2>Episode Mode: The Amazing Guardians Story<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond versus play, the beta includes three story chapters following Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, and Peni Parker. It is a useful way to learn each character\u2019s rhythm through light narrative framing before the ranked queue opens. Progress and unlocks do not carry over to the full game, so treat it as a preview.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/marvel-tokon-spiderman-story-mode.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Spider-Man in a comic-panel story cutscene in MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls Episode Mode\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Marvel \/ PlayStation Studios \/ Arc System Works<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How to Download the Beta in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>No registration is needed.
