During yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play stream, Arc System Works released a new gameplay trailer for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls and confirmed an August 6th release date for PS5 and PC. The newest trailer focuses on an episode mode feature and reveals the Unbreakable X-Men team, consisting of Storm, Wolverine, Magik, and Danger. The awesome gameplay footage is featured above, while a few more details about episode mode are included below, courtesy of Arc Systems Works Producer Takeshi Yamanaka.
In collaboration with Marvel Games, we’ve adapted the narrative, world, and characters specifically for this game. This game mode depicts Marvel heroes and villains, including the X-Men, standing against a new threat.
Episode Mode blends American comics and Japanese manga into a new form of storytelling adapted for a modern video game format. We have collaborated with a renowned writer from the original Marvel comics to help build the world and write the scenario.
The story is presented as motion comics, centered around manga illustrated by celebrated artists. The game will feature full voice acting across 10 languages (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Latin American Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin), and the game’s music and audio will support spatial audio with PS5’s Tempest 3D AudioTech*. Beyond visuals and sound, the mode also uses the features of the PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless controller to deliver a tactile storytelling experience. We hope you look forward to a new way of experiencing Marvel stories, distinct from comics or films and made possible only through games.
