Marvel fans and fighting game enthusiasts are in for a treat this September, as Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls gears up for its first closed beta test.

Closed Beta Set for September, Featuring Iconic Characters and a Fan-Favorite Stage

The closed beta is set to run from September 5 to 7, exclusively on PlayStation 5. Those eager to try the game ahead of launch can sign up via the official Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls website. The roster available during the beta includes Iron Man, Doctor Doom, Ms. Marvel, Star-Lord, Storm, and Captain America, with Marvel’s New York as the primary battleground.

The beta will feature both online lobby matches and limited offline modes, complete with rollback netcode for a smoother multiplayer experience, a tutorial for newcomers, and even spectator support for those who just want to watch the action unfold. It's a strong opening move from Arc System Works, and it's clear they’re aiming to make this title a long-term staple in the fighting game community—with the developers even teasing a 10-year support plan during Evo 2025.

Early gameplay footage shared on social media shows off stylish animations and charming victory poses, including Star-Lord dancing with his iconic headphones and Ms. Marvel flashing a cheeky V-sign. Doctor Doom, as expected, exudes power as he marches through his Doombots to claim his throne.

While the beta is currently limited to PS5 players, interest in the game is skyrocketing—and it’s likely that more platforms will be supported closer to launch.
