The developers of Marvel Tōkon Fighting Souls have teased additional fighter announcements planned for 2026, signaling more reveals ahead for the upcoming fighting game. The update was shared through the game’s official X account in a year end message from producer Takeshi Yamanaka, addressed directly to the player community following the conclusion of the second Closed Beta Test.
In the message, Yamanaka thanked players who participated in the beta and those who submitted feedback through post-test surveys. He emphasized that the development team is actively reviewing player responses and using them to guide ongoing improvements. According to Yamanaka, while not every comment has been reviewed yet, both positive impressions and criticism are being taken seriously as development continues.
“Thank you so much to all the players who participated in our second Closed Beta Test,” Yamanaka wrote. “We also truly appreciate the many heartfelt messages submitted through the survey. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.” He added that the team is “sincerely taking in all of the feedback—both the positives and the areas that need improvement,” and confirmed that refinement of the game is ongoing based on those opinions.
Looking ahead, Yamanaka described 2026 as a major year for the project. He stated, “2026 will be a big year for us! Our whole team is working hard to make this a game that you will enjoy for years to come, a title that will continue to grow with its community.” Most notably for fans awaiting roster news, he confirmed that more characters are still planned to be revealed. “We still have more characters to announce, along with more exciting moments where you’ll be able to see the game in action,” Yamanaka said, encouraging players to stay tuned.
The message concludes with a brief holiday greeting, reinforcing the community-focused tone of the update. While no specific fighters or timelines were revealed, the statement clearly positions additional announcements as part of the game’s 2026 roadmap.
