GameSpot released a video showcasing high-level CPU gameplay for five characters that were unavailable during the open beta for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls [1].
This footage provides the first look at the combat mechanics for a significant portion of the roster, signaling the developer's shift toward full-game promotion as the title approaches its 2026 release [2].
The featured matches include Deadpool, Carnage, Champion, Loki, and Hulk [1]. GameSpot editorial said these specific fighters were not available to play in the open beta for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls [1]. The showcase highlights the technical capabilities of the CPU at high levels of play, with specific match timestamps recorded at 00:00, 04:42, and 09:52 [1].
Other character reveals have emerged through separate trailers. The "Samurai Outriders" reveal showcased Blade, Deadpool, and Loki [2]. Additionally, Gematsu reported that the "Knights of Doom," led by a Doctor Doom voiced by SungWon Cho, introduced Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage to the roster [3].
The game has already begun generating competitive interest. Coverage of the title has been linked to the 2026 EVO tournament [4], suggesting the developer intends for the game to be a staple in the fighting game community's professional circuit.
By releasing CPU gameplay for the missing beta characters, the studio is addressing community curiosity regarding the balance and move sets of the full roster. The inclusion of diverse archetypes, from the powerhouse Hulk to the chaotic Carnage, indicates a wide variety of playstyles for the final product [1].

The strategic release of high-level CPU footage for characters omitted from the open beta serves as a bridge to maintain community momentum. By linking the game's visibility to major events like EVO 2026, the publishers are positioning Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls not just as a licensed tie-in, but as a serious contender in the competitive fighting game genre.
