The only fighting game I’ve ever been excited for is now getting a PC playtest before launch
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a superhero fighting game revealed by Sony at its 2025 State of Play event, is moving forward with a PC release despite the platform holder’s recent pivot away from PC gaming. The game is being developed by Arc System Works.
Arc System Works has announced an open beta test running July 24-26 that will be available on both PC and PS5. This represents the first time PC players will have access to the title, as the game’s previous closed playtest was exclusive to PlayStation 5. The expansion to PC marks a significant step in broadening the game’s testing audience.
The announcement is notable given Sony’s recent statement that it plans to pull back from committing future releases to PC. Marvel Tōkon appears to be an exception to this new strategy, likely due to pre-existing commitments made before Sony’s strategic shift.
While the article excerpt indicates the open beta will feature additional content beyond what was available in the closed playtest, specific details about these additions are not provided. The fighting game has already generated interest beyond the typical fighting game audience, suggesting that the combination of the Marvel license and Arc System Works’ expertise has created strong anticipation for the release.
The beta test in late July will give both PC and PS5 players their first official hands-on experience with Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls ahead of the game’s full launch.
