Marvel Games and ARC System Works have announced an open beta for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, scheduled for July 24 through July 26, 2026 [1].

The event provides a critical first look at the game's 4v4 tag-team combat system and serves as the final stress test before the full commercial release [3].

The open beta will be available worldwide on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam [1]. According to the official trailer, the beta period will feature 15 playable characters [2] and six available stages [2]. The character roster includes high-profile figures such as Blade, Deadpool, and Loki [1].

This limited-time window allows players to experiment with team compositions and mechanics. ARC System Works said it intends to use the period to showcase the game's fast-paced fighting style and build momentum for the official launch [3].

Following the conclusion of the beta on July 26, the full version of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is scheduled to launch on August 6, 2026 [2]. The game is published by Marvel Games and utilizes the technical expertise of ARC System Works, a studio known for high-fidelity fighting titles [1].

Players can access the beta through the respective digital storefronts for PS5 and Steam during the designated three-day window [1].

“The open beta will be available worldwide on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.”

The partnership between Marvel Games and ARC System Works suggests a push toward a more competitive, high-skill ceiling fighting game than previous Marvel titles. By implementing a 4v4 tag-team system, the game attempts to blend traditional fighting mechanics with strategic team management, aiming to capture both the casual fanbase and the dedicated fighting game community (FGC) ahead of its August release.
