Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is the new fighting game developed by Arc System Works, known for its work on iconic titles like Dragon Ball FighterZ and Guilty Gear. Scheduled for release in 2026, the title stands out for offering a combat system that allows up to eight fighters on screen, controlled by two players, which promises to enhance the gaming experience and attract genre enthusiasts.
A game with something for everyone
Unlike Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Marvel Tokon presents itself with a fresh and unique aesthetic, as well as an innovative approach to team battles. Iconic characters like Storm and Dr. Doom are treated with artisanal detail, allowing players to enjoy their abilities strategically.
One of the most interesting aspects of the game is its accessible design for both newcomers and veterans, facilitated by specific buttons that allow for special moves and unique abilities. This does not mean that experienced players are at a disadvantage; all heroes are equally effective in combat, which adds an additional layer of strategy to the game.
Marvel Tokon seeks to create a long-term commitment with players, planning online events and post-launch content, reflecting PlayStation Studios’ desire to offer a lasting multiplayer experience. However, the key to the game lies not only in its gameplay but also in its ability to remain relevant and appealing in a competitive market.
If the developers maintain the quality observed in the initial beta, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has the potential to become a classic within the genre, offering players both immediate fun and an incentive to return over time.
Last night one of the most anticipated events of the Summer Game Fest took place. We all expected to see what Sony would offer in its State of Play. Although they have some interesting games on the horizon, 2025 has not been a good year for the Japanese company. And it doesn’t seem like it will be great in the future. At least from what we could see last Wednesday, June 4, around 11 PM. It must be admitted that, although there was something for everyone’s taste, it was a very Japanese State of Play. Very focused on third parties and […]
Last night, one of the most anticipated events of the Summer Game Fest took place. We all expected to see what Sony would offer in its State of Play. Although they have some interesting games on the horizon, 2025 has not been a good year for the Japanese company. And it doesn’t seem like it will be great in the future. At least from what we could see last Wednesday, June 4, around 11 PM.
It must be admitted that, although there was something for everyone, it was a very Japanese State of Play. Very focused on third parties and for those whose tastes are more based on arcade-style games, or with a more video game approach, and less on narrative or cinematic video games. This may disappoint some people who expect a different approach from Sony after God of War, Uncharted, and The Last of Us, but the truth is that it was an exceptional State of Play in terms of pace and content. And for that reason, we have selected the best announcements so you don’t miss anything.
Lumines Arise
There are only three games that have been able to be as iconic and brilliant as Tetris in the world of puzzles: Puyo Puyo, Meteos, and Lumines. The latter will receive a new installment, as we have learned thanks to Sony, named Lumines Arise. Its premise is to be the same idea as always —grouping four or more symbols in a square or equivalent shape using pieces made up of combinations of one or two symbols— but now with more particles and even more spectacular graphics.
Clearly drinking from the tremendous success of Tetris Effect, it seems that the game is heavily inspired by Tetsuya Mizuguchi’s previous game. But let’s not kid ourselves either. Tetris Effect already drew a lot from Lumines. So we can expect to see what the result will be when it releases this upcoming autumn of 2025 for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation VR.
Pragmata
Initially announced at E3 2020 for 2022, Pragmata has had a tumultuous development. So much so that we haven’t heard anything about it for 2 years and many people suspected it had been canceled. Nothing could be further from the truth, as the game has shown signs of life. And it is spectacular.
Highlighting some absolutely stunning graphics, where the quality of the design of the main girl stands out especially, the game seems pure Capcom. Resident Evil, but with more action and in a science fiction setting. Something we really can’t say no to. But to play it, we will still have to wait. Because Pragmata will be released in 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Romeo is a Dead Man
Goichi Suda, better known as Suda51, is one of the great authors of video games. Punk, unrestrained, with no intention of pleasing anyone, he always does what he wants, how he wants, and he doesn’t care if you like what he does. That’s why, if you like it, you’ll love it. And that is the case with Romeo is a Dead Man, a madness about a man trapped between life and death due to a time paradox that shattered the space-time continuum and now he must jump between dimensions to hunt down dangerous fugitives.
It promises to be violent. It promises to be hilarious. And it promises to be vulgar. But it is also deep, human, and a game like no other you have ever played. Because that’s what Goichi Suda’s games are about. However, to play it, we will have to wait until 2026, when we can enjoy it on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Silent Hill f
If there is a horror game that is highly anticipated this year, it is Silent Hill f. Written by one of the most celebrated authors of Japanese horror, putting his own spin on one of the most beloved franchises in the industry, it is impossible for this to go wrong. Especially now that we have finally seen gameplay. And it did not disappoint.
Dark, violent, and very psychological, it seems we will have to go through real hardships to progress in the game. Exactly what we want in a Silent Hill. Additionally, we have been given something even more important. Its release date. The game will be released on September 25 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. And keep a close eye. Because if there is a game in this article that is a contender for game of the year, it is this one.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
In Europe, we never got to play one of the most celebrated games from the US and Japan within the Final Fantasy franchise. Moreover, it is not a game from the main franchise. Because Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the brightest games that has come from Square Enix and, even today, it still has one of the most impressive stories and one of the most satisfying battles in Tactic RPG.
This remastered version also has two good things. It will include an improved version, with full voice acting and updated graphics, but also the original version for those who want to enjoy what was playable on PlayStation. This time, with the acclaimed translation that the PSP version had. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles will be released on September 30 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Switch, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.
Nioh 3
Team Ninja is in a very sweet spot, with many projects on the horizon. And now they have decided to add one that many fans were waiting for: a new installment of their most beloved franchise. Nioh 3 will take us to feudal Japan to face a tremendously challenging souls-like game where, as it seems in the trailer, we will have to choose between protagonists. One is a samurai, similar to the gameplay style of previous installments, and the other is a shinobi, with a style more akin to that of Tenchu.
With the demo now available, it is possible to try the game to see how well it works. And if it will live up to its previous games in the franchise. Even if we will still have to wait until 2026 to enjoy it, we will be able to play it on both PC and PlayStation 5.
Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls
But the big announcement has come from Marvel. Although not only from Marvel. Arc System Works in collaboration with PlayStation Studios has announced Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls. This is a 4 vs 4 tag team fighting game, where we choose four characters and alternate between them to fight. Closely following the style of previous games from the company, such as Guilty Gears or Dragon Ball FighterZ, it has a spectacular graphic style and a frantic pace that promises to captivate fighting game fans.
We have seen some of the playable characters, such as Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Star-Lord, Ms. Marvel, Storm, and Dr. Doom. However, like most games, we will still have to wait. Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will be released on PC and PlayStation 5 in 2026. But given the promising look of all these games, it seems that PlayStation has plans, and the wait is well worth it.

The universe of Guilty Gear continues to expand, this time with the release of the anime Guilty Gear Strive: Dual Rulers, premiering on Crunchyroll this April. This new project aims to enhance the narrative of the video game, which has been highly praised for its beautiful animation that combines 3D with a 2D anime style. Arc System Works, the developer behind the franchise, collaborates with Sanzigen Studios to bring this series to life, addressing limitations encountered during the development of the original game, where time and budget restricted narrative aspects.
The plot of Dual Rulers begins during the wedding of Ky Kiske and Dizzy, a setting that promises to mix action elements with the dense lore of Guilty Gear. This world has been known for its eccentric characters and unexpected plot twists, making it ideal material for an animated series. The main focus is on Sin Kiske, the son of Ky and Dizzy, a three-year-old child who, due to the peculiarities of the Guilty Gear universe, appears to be much older.
Expanding a universe that has always been vast
Fans can expect to see popular characters like Bridget and Elphelt, who will bring their charisma to the narrative. The series looks promising, not only in terms of its story and characters but also in the visual aspect, which follows the vibrant aesthetic of the video game. The initial previews highlight exciting combat sequences, raising expectations on how the epic battles of the characters that have captured players’ attention over the years will be portrayed.
Although the specific release date has not yet been confirmed, there is great excitement surrounding this release. Guilty Gear fans are eager to see how this animated adaptation will unfold and how its complex world will be explored in a new form of narrative.
