A new Marvel fighting game is in the works, and this time, it’s not being developed by Capcom, as it was announced during the June 2025 Sony State of Play that the studio behind Dragon Ball FighterZ is making Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, a new fighting game featuring iconic heroes and villains.
Marvel had a ton of fighting games in the ‘90s, all produced by Capcom. These fizzled out over time, partly due to rights issues involving the X-Men that made it difficult for them to appear in crossover video games.

The fighters revealed so far include Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Storm, Dr. Doom, and Ghost Rider. The developers have promised that more fighters will be revealed in the future.
More importantly, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a 4v4 fighting game, which means players will be able to build a huge team of fighters. 4v4 is a large number for the genre, so the developers will have their work cut out for them if they want to get the balance just right. Fans will get to see if they pull it off next year, as Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is coming to PS5 in 2026.
