Arc System Works and Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed the remaining Year 1 DLC fighters for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls at EVO France, completing a lineup that begins with Phoenix Cyclops on November 2. Jane Foster's Thor, Venom and Jubilee will follow across 2027, Polygon and IGN reported.
- Phoenix Cyclops: November 2, 2026
- Thor (Jane Foster): winter 2027
- Venom: spring 2027, with a new stage based on the Symbiote homeworld Klyntar
- Jubilee: summer 2027
Arc System Works gave Thor's window as winter 2027, which IGN read as an arrival sometime before March. The reveal trailer showed no gameplay for her. It showed her character model in Odin's Vault on the game's Asgard stage, confronting Loki, and the developer said a proper gameplay trailer will come at a later date. Jane Foster's Thor has been playable before: she was one of the last post-launch characters added to Marvel's Avengers in 2022, Polygon noted.
The choice continues the roster's habit of picking less expected versions of familiar heroes. The base game features Shuri as Black Panther rather than T'Challa, and its first DLC fighter is a Phoenix Force version of Cyclops rather than the standard one. Venom and Jubilee appear to be their more familiar selves, according to IGN.
A difficult year on PC
The game launched in August. Its Steam release drew mixed user reviews over technical problems and its PlayStation Network requirement, and Arc System Works shipped a fix within days. IGN reported that the game's Steam concurrent player count still struggles to pass 1,000, per SteamDB. Director Kazuto Sekine has since apologized for the PC launch, and the developers have said winning back trust will be "extremely challenging".
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is available on PlayStation 5 and Windows PC. The DLC fighters are included in the $84.99 Digital Deluxe Edition, or sold separately through the $34.99 Year 1 Character and Stage Pass.
