Arc System Works has released a new update for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, which fixes just a few of the issues for the PC version. The game is available now on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
The update comes in the wake of several major criticisms of the PC version of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, such as the overwhelming lag and latency problems. The recent patch focuses on trying to repair these sore spots, and does the following:
- Reduced CPU load to help improve overall responsiveness and reduce lag-related issues
- Fixed a bug that could cause sudden performance drops during gameplay
- Improved backend crash reporting so we can track down issues and improve stability faster
The launch roster of MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls includes Peni Parker, Storm, Magik, Danger, Wolverine, Captain America (Steve Rogers), Doctor Doom, Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes), Iron Man, Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan), Spider-Man (Peter Parker), Black Panther (Shuri), Hulk, Star-Lord, Green Goblin, Carnage, Blade, Loki, and Deadpool, alongside secret character The Champion. In addition, Arc System Works recently revealed Phoenix Cyclops, the first DLC character coming to MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls in fall 2026.
Arc System Works also revealed two new costumes, both of which for Wolverine, that will be available in Fighting Souls. One is directly based on his appearance in Marvel’s Wolverine, while another is created by Insomniac Games exclusively for the fighting game. Arc System Works also notes that it has “placed a much greater emphasis on costume development as one of the ways players can enjoy their favorite characters in new ways. We have plans to continue adding a variety of costumes in the future, so please look forward to what’s ahead.”
