Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls completes launch roster with a twist
Loki, Blade and Deadpool join the fight, public beta date announced, more information coming soon
The most famous championship focused on fighting games, EVO, works great as a platform for related announcements — so it was basically a given that Arc System Works would take the opportunity to reveal the final three characters of its initial roster for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls during that event. What most of us did not expect was for this reveal to hit that hard: ArcSys and Sony have clearly been saving the best for last, as all three new fighters do not just look sensational, but also different enough and exciting enough to attract interest from both seasoned fighting game players and mainstream consumers alike.
So, without further ado: Loki, Blade and Deadpool join Ghost Rider’s team, named “Samurai Outriders”. So the PlayStation community was not wrong in expecting this group to be one of anti-heroes, but it turns out it’s not the Midnight Sons after all — a fact that, breaking the fourth wall as he’s known to do, Deadpool was quick to point out in Sony’s trailer. All four fighters are unconventional in their own way and ArcSys made sure this translates to how they are presented and played in the context of this game’s team dynamic.
