Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls changes assists, Link Attacks, and area transitions in new gameplay update

The game isn't even out, and already Arc System Works has implemented a lot of changes based on player feedback.

After two closed beta tests and plenty of event demos, the developers at Arc System Works have been made aware of some things that might need changing in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The upcoming fighter is exciting a lot of fighting game fans, but as with any game that has a strong multiplayer focus, you only really know what needs changing and updating when it's unleashed to the public.

In a new trailer, and message from producer Takeshi Yamanaka that made its way to Bluesky, we see some of the changes that have already been implemented. Assists, Link Attacks, and area transitions have all been altered to better improve the flow of play, and this updated game build will be making its way to new demo events.

The next time you'll be able to play Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is the 20th of March, at the Arc World Tour finals. If you're not in Seoul, South Korea on that weekend, then you'll just have to wait until the game's next beta bonanza. With five months to go until release, we'll probably get one more major test ahead of everyone rushing to play this Marvel tag fighter.
