The open beta kicks off on July 24 and runs through July 26. Mark your calendars, as these three days are dedicated to testing out the game’s deep combat system and unique modes.

You can access the open beta easily across major platforms. On PS5, the client is available through the storefront. For PC players, access is provided via Steam and the Epic Games Store. There is no registration required, and pre-downloading will be ready for you two hours before the launch time.

For those on PlayStation 5, there’s no need to subscribe to PlayStation Plus to experience the beta and all its modes; an online connection is sufficient for most social interactions.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls puts players in the role of tag-fighters in a dynamic 4v4 format. The gameplay features fresh visual spins on every character and spectacular comic book-inspired action sequences whenever special moves are successfully executed, promising fluid and explosive combat.

The roster itself is a star-studded affair, offering access to 15 of the game’s 20 total playable characters. Players can jump into the fray as iconic figures like Iron Man, Spider-Man, Blade, Captain America, Wolverine, and many more. Dive in and master the moves of your favorite super-powered foes.

Beyond the core fighting, the beta introduces six distinct stages inspired by iconic Marvel locations, including Knowhere, Marvel’s New York (Day/Night), Savage Land, Wakanda, and X-Mansion. These environments serve as thrilling arenas for epic superpowered showdowns.

Players won’t be limited to just competitive play. The beta includes various modes designed to cater to all tastes. You can engage in online casual and ranked matches, test your skills in Practice Mode against dummy opponents, or explore the Open Lobby social hub where you can meet other players, chat, and start a match from an arcade cabinet setting.

If you want to get a feel for the narrative side of the game, Episode Mode allows players to experience the first three chapters of the Amazing Guardians storyline. This story mode focuses on Spider-Man as he teams up with allies to fight back against the Champion, blending exciting comic book panels directly into the gameplay experience.
