Haluk Mentes, the general manager of Marvel Games, recently shared his enthusiastic insights regarding the highly anticipated fighting title, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, developed in collaboration with Sony and Arc System Works. In an interview with Game Informer, Mentes expressed immense satisfaction with the partnership, calling the experience “a dream.”
Mentes highlighted the game’s distinctive, anime-inspired art style, alongside its innovative tag-team fighting mechanics, which he believes set it apart from other titles in the genre. He emphasized the integration of Marvel’s iconic superhero designs with the artistic sensibility of Arc System Works, stating, “From the get-go, we collectively started pushing the envelope in terms of design to bring out that unmistakable ArcSys identity.”
One specific character that Mentes is particularly proud of is Iron Man, whose design in the game he described as “super unique but instantly recognizable.” He conveyed his pride in the project, assuring fans that Marvel Tokon is set to deliver an exciting experience when it launches.
Scheduled for release exclusively on the PS5, with a PC version arriving in 2026, Marvel Tokon will feature a dynamic 4v4 tag-team system. Players will gather their characters throughout a match, enabling them to strategically switch between fighters to leverage each character’s strengths.
While details about the game remain somewhat sparse, fans are eagerly anticipating new character reveals, with hopes that some may be showcased at the upcoming State of Play Japan event. Mentes’ positive sentiments about the game suggest a collaborative spirit that could translate into a thrilling experience for players when it finally hits the shelves.
