Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the 4‑v‑4 tag‑team fighter created by PlayStation Studios, Arc System Works, and Marvel Comics, has just dropped a fresh trailer that details the entire Year 1 Character & Stage Pass lineup.
The spotlight of the new footage is Thor (Jane Foster), announced as the second DLC fighter for the pass slated for the winter of 2027. The clip also introduces the game’s first guest composer, Keiichi Okabe, known for his work on Summer Time Rendering and Yuki Yuna Is a Hero. Okabe crafted a dedicated theme for Thor (Jane Foster), adding a distinct musical flavor to the character’s entrance.
Full Year 1 Roster Unveiled
The trailer also confirms every fighter that will be available through the Year 1 pass. In addition to Thor (Jane Foster), the schedule includes:
- Phoenix Cyclops – arriving on November 2, 2026 (official announcement)
- Venom – slated for spring 2027
- Jubilee – slated for summer 2027
The remaining 20 characters are already in the game at launch, ranging from classic staples such as Spider‑Man, Wolverine, and Deadpool to newer fan‑favorites like Ms. Marvel and Magik. The full launch roster is listed in the original announcement and includes notable names such as Doctor Doom, Magneto, Blade, and Loki.
Release Platforms and Editions
The game debuted on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store on August 6, 2026 (August 7 in Japan). Players could also secure the Ultimate Edition, which bundles pre‑order bonuses, five exclusive costumes, chromatic color variations for all launch fighters, and the Year 1 pass that grants access to the four DLC characters and a new stage.
