If you’re heading to EVO 2025 or just itching to find out more about what Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls is all about, Game Director Kazuto “Pachi” Sekine has you covered. In a newly released video, Pachi breaks down the fundamentals of the upcoming tag-based fighter, giving players a crash course in everything from team composition to controls. Whether you’re trying the game at EVO or watching from home, here’s what you need to know.
Check out the video below.
At the core of Fighting Souls is its 4 vs. 4 tag-team format. You’ll build a squad of four Marvel characters as you play throughout your matches, although you’ll only have access to two characters at first.
As the match progresses and certain objectives are met, like losing a round, being slammed through a stage corner (which seems like a watch to get out of being stuck in that corner), or via a wall break that triggers a stage transition. During matches, you’ll tag characters in and out, swap positions mid-combo, and take advantage of team-based mechanics to dominate your opponent.
