The latest trailer for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, a team-based fighting game where MARVEL characters face off in squads, has been released!
A wealth of information has been unveiled, including the new playable characters Hulk and Black Panther.

The Latest Trailer for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls Has Been Released!

The latest trailer for MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls was released at EVO Japan 2026 presented by Leverages, which was held from Friday, May 1 to Sunday, May 3, 2026!
As the third installment of the playable character introduction series, Fighting Avengers was announced.

By assembling Fighting Avengers, you get a team consisting of four individuals, including:

  • Captain America
  • Iron Man
  • Hulk
  • Black Panther

If you are familiar with the MARVEL universe, the name Avengers will without a doubt get you excited.
As a newly formed Avengers assembled to counter a new threat facing Earth, they join the fray with a slightly different lineup than usual.
How will their exploits be depicted?
We can hardly wait for the release date.

New Playable Character Hulk Joins the Fight!

Hulk was announced in this trailer as a new playable character.
One of MARVEL's most iconic powerhouses has finally been confirmed to join the battle.

In terms of fighting game character performance, his selling point is his overwhelming power to force his way in.
He also possesses a dedicated gauge called the Gamma Gauge, and when it reaches MAX, he enters a Gamma Rage state to power up even further.
The setting of Hulk, where the angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes, is brilliantly integrated into the game.

The voice actor for the Japanese version is Atsushi Miyauchi (@Miyauchi_info).
Many people will be familiar with his voice, as Miyauchi has also been in charge of dubbing Hulk (Bruce Banner) for a long time in Marvel Cinematic Universe works such as The Avengers.

And Fred Tatasciore (@fredtatasciore), who plays the voice actor for the English version, is also someone who has voiced Hulk many times, including in MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3.
Many people will probably recognize his voice as well.

As a writer whose favorite MARVEL character is Hulk, I cannot wait to use him.

New Playable Character Black Panther Joins the Fight!

Following Hulk, Black Panther's participation has also been confirmed.
Since the character of the same name appearing in MARVEL VS. CAPCOM: INFINITE, Marvel Rivals, etc., is male, many of you might picture him, but the Black Panther appearing in this title is the female version portrayed by Shuri.
Perhaps reflecting this, she showcases supple movements that utilize not only her claws but also a spear.

Her fighting game character performance is said to feature mid-range neutral play utilizing her spear, as well as hit-and-run tactics that launch surprise attacks with swift movements.
You will want to overwhelm opponents with quick movements worthy of the Panther name.

The voice actor for the Japanese version is Mitsuho Kambe (@mitsuho_k0913).
She is also in charge of dubbing Shuri in What If...?, one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe series.

And Erica Luttrell (@shukrani), who serves as the English voice actor, handles Shuri in the game Marvel's Avengers published by Square Enix.

New Stage: Wakanda

Wakanda was also announced as a new stage.
Shuri, also known as the Black Panther introduced earlier, rules the country as its monarch.
With Black Panther joining the fight, this is a completely logical selection.

The Character Holding the Key to the Story: Champion Unveiled!

In this trailer, the presence of a new appearing character, Champion, was also revealed.
Champion, who acts together with the promoter introduced previously, travels across the stars in search of formidable opponents, and surprisingly, the next target is Earth.
Who will be the hero to earn the right to challenge Champion?
This character also seems poised to be an important figure holding the key to the story of this title.

Upcoming Event Schedule

Following the recent EVO Japan 2026, Combo Breaker 2026 will be held in Chicago on Friday, May 22, 2026.
Furthermore, a hands-on demo exhibition of the latest version has been confirmed for Hong Kong Comic Con 2026, which will be held in Hong Kong on Friday, May 29, 2026.
Since players will also be able to test out Black Panther, who was announced this time, let's keep our schedules open.
