Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Trailer Shows Off New X-Men Characters

Aside from Dead or Alive getting a new game, another major bit of fighting game news at State of Play was a new trailer for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

This two-minute video is focused on showcasing the "Unbreakable X-Men" team. You've likely already seen Storm from the closed beta tests, and she acts as a team leader of the squad, but the other three characters are new reveals that include: Wolverine, Danger, and Magik.

Most of these need no introduction, but this might be the first introduction to Danger for a lot of people (me included). From glancing over the vast lore of X-Men, Danger seems to be an AI that that was built to control the Danger Room, essentially a room created for simulated combat training.

Eventually she gains self-consciousness, and following an attack on the Danger Room, gives herself a robotic body made out of other machines. While she was initially trying to take revenge on X-Men, at one point in the narrative her issues get resolved, and she now joins X-Men as an ally.

As usual, Marvel Tokon also puts its own little twist on her design. While her comic book designs seem to largely follow a grimier, almost cyberpunk type aesthetic, the game's version is much slicker and has a smooth android look, though she retains the dreadlock style hair composed out of wires.

The video offers a brief glimpse of gameplay for each of the characters in the team, but also leaves us with a proper launch date – August 6, 2026 (that's gonna be Thursday, if you're curious).

Weirdly enough, the Steam page for the game still isn't updated with neither the release date, nor the additional info that was recently leaked by accident.
