Arc System Works has revealed the first character that will be available in its Year One Character & Stage Pass for Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls, and it is a character no one was expecting to show up. That character is Phoenix Cyclops, based upon the Cyclops variant from the Avengers vs X-Men comic run, in which Cyclops wielded the power of the Phoenix Force.
The reveal trailer for Phoenix Cyclops shows Storm confronting him, telling him to stop before he turns everything to ash. However, the trailer cuts out before we get to see Phoenix Cyclops in action as he takes on his own mission to save mutant kind. We will probably get a gameplay trailer closer to the release of Phoenix Cyclops, and news of the other three characters plus the new stage that will make up the first year pass. The confirmed roster so far for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls includes Captain America, Iron Man, Ms Marvel, Dr Doom, Storm, Star Lord, Ghost Rider, Spider-Man, Peni Parker, Magik, Wolverine, Danger, Hulk, and Black Panther. Team names will play a part in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, with Amazing Guardians being one of them. The game will feature automatic team name generation that will take into account the characters chosen and Marvel lore.
While Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls is set to pique the interest of Marvel fans around the world, not every fan will be able to play the game. That is because Marvel Tokon on PC is blocked from countries without PSN. 132 countries to be precise including much of Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls will launch on 6th August 2026 for PS5 and PC, in some countries anyway.
