"Marvel's Tag-Team Fighter Set for Next Year: Arc System Works Transitions to 4v4 Format"
Marvel's Back and Better Than Ever
For years, gamers have been yearning for the return of the iconic Marvel vs Capcom series. Now, the wait is over! Although Capcom won't be joining this time, Marvel is back, and we have the deets. Arriving in 2026, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls promises to raise the stakes and bring a new spin to the superhero tag-team fighter format.
The game was announced during Sony's State of Play showcase, revealing a 4v4 tag-team fighting system. Fan-favorite characters like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Dr. Doom, and Storm are now joined by Star Lord, Ghost Rider, and Ms. Marvel. Interestingly, the fights aren't limited to 3 versus 3 any longer!
Details from an accompanying interview segment during the State of Play showcase suggest newbie-friendly options for sticking with your lead character throughout the entire match. Advanced players, however, can switch up the lead character on the fly.
Arc System Works, the developers, plan to release new characters in seasonal waves, ensuring the game keeps evolving as long as players keep playing!
Those anticipating a Marvel fix right away can turn to the vibrant community surrounding Marvel Vs Capcom Infinite. With the help of fighting game YouTuber and Streamer, Maximilian Dood, the community has given the somewhat underwhelming game a massive overhaul, transforming it into something genuinely worth playing. Highlights include a slick new toon-shaded aesthetic, competitive balance tweaks, new game modes, a better soundtrack, and even online play support.
As for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, keep an eye on official announcement pages for updates on its release, which is expected to coincide with its arrival on both PS5 and PC in 2026.
