Excitement is building for fans of the Marvel franchise as the highly anticipated fighting game, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, prepares for its second closed beta. This event, set to take place from December 5 to December 7, follows a successful first round that had players eager for more action.
Arc System Works, the game’s developer, unveiled a new trailer during the recent State of Play Japan livestream, providing a glimpse of what players can expect in the upcoming beta. This test period will span the entire weekend on PlayStation 5, offering gamers uninterrupted access from start to finish.
Among the highlights of the second beta are fan-favorite characters Spider-Man and Ghost Rider, alongside the introduction of two vibrant new stages: the Savage Land and the X-Mansion. Each stage is designed to enrich gameplay with unique features and hidden surprises. For instance, the X-Mansion stage, while limited to a single area, transforms dramatically as battles unfold, adding an engaging layer of strategy and excitement. Players can also spot iconic X-Men characters like Psylocke, Beast, and Gambit in the background, enhancing the immersive experience.
Beyond character additions, this beta aims to refine gameplay further based on user feedback from the first testing phase. Players can expect significant balance changes, enhanced performance, and system updates that address previously noted issues, with more detailed information provided as the beta date approaches.
The beta kicks off at 2 AM CT (midnight PT) on December 5, lasting for 72 hours until 1:59 AM CT on December 8. Players will have the opportunity to engage in both online and CPU matches for the first two days, with the final day dedicated solely to online play.
Those who participated in the previous beta will automatically be registered for this round, and they can expect a reminder email soon. Previous registrants who were unable to play will receive an invitation to join this time. New players eager to join can sign up by creating a beta testing profile through the designated link, confirming their interest in the playtest.
As the countdown to the beta begins, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is generating considerable buzz, promising an exhilarating experience for both newcomers and seasoned players alike.
