Key Takeaways

- The Year 1 DLC roster includes Phoenix Cyclops, Female Thor, Venom, and Jubilee.
- Developer Arc System Works plans to address assist spam issues with upcoming balance patches.
Arc System Works and PlayStation have unveiled the Year 1 DLC roster for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, confirming the release schedule for new characters and stages.
The first character to join the roster will be Phoenix Cyclops on November 2, 2026, followed by Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor in winter 2027, Marvel Tokon Venom in spring 2027, and Jubilee in summer 2027.
The announcement surprised many fans, who expected to see Thor Odinson instead of Jane Foster’s Mighty Thor. The trailer for the Female Thor received a lukewarm reaction from the community.
The Year 1 Character & Stage Pass will allow players to purchase individual characters and stages separately, or as a bundle.
Beyond the roster news, players have complained about the strength and ease of use of assists in the game. Director Kazuto Sekine has acknowledged that assist and tag use exceeded the team’s plans and that longer cooldowns are being prepared.
A build shown at EVO reportedly tested tighter assist timing, indicating a balance update aimed at addressing player complaints.
Arc System Works faces high stakes with this update, as the success of Marvel Tokon is crucial for the studio. If the game fails to maintain player interest, talk of an “Arc System Works curse” — games dying within about six months — may intensify.
