The opening movie of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls draws inspiration from classic fighting games and early 2000s anime openings. Produced by Japanese animation studio Sanzigen under the direction of Daisuke Suzuki, the movie features the song Stronger as One, set to release on streaming platforms at 9pm PST today.

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is scheduled to launch on PC and PlayStation 5 on August 6.
