Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has revealed the final three playable characters rounding out its roster, and there are a number of fan-favorites in there as well as a quick look at a PlayStation icon.
The fifth team in Arc System Works’ tag fighting game is called Samurai Outriders, and it includes the previously announced Ghost Rider and three new playable characters: Blade, Deadpool, and Loki.
The look at Deadpool, voiced by Nolan North, is particularly fun, as it includes a number of Easter eggs. We see Deadpool perform his own version of ‘Toasty!’ from Mortal Kombat, do Johnny Cage's famous Ball Buster move, perform the Jack-O'-Pose from Arc System Works’ own Guilty Gear series, and there’s even a fun nod to the fan expectation that the team would be called Midnight Sons.
But the highlight is a quick glimpse of Polygon Man, the iconic PlayStation character, in action. At the 1:43 mark, Deadpool uses Polygon Man’s head as a weapon, referencing the character's history.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a PlayStation-published game, is set for release on PlayStation 5 and PC on August 6, 2026. Sony also announced an open beta for PS5 and PC from July 24-26, allowing players to experience the game before its official launch.
