Hello everyone, I am Takeshi Yamanaka, Producer of MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls. Earlier today at San Diego Comic-Con, we hosted the panel \u201cMARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls \u2014 Behind the Battle.\u201d where we shared several new announcements and updates about the game. Today I would like to recap those reveals here on PlayStation Blog.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\tPlay Video<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re excited to announce that Phoenix Cyclops (voiced by Ray Chase), will be the first additional character joining MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls as part of Year 1 content.<\/p>\n Cyclops is one of Marvel\u2019s most iconic X-Men leaders. In MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls, however, this version of Cyclops draws inspiration from his Phoenix Five incarnation from Avengers vs. X-Men<\/em>, sporting a bold new look infused with the fiery cosmic power of the Phoenix Force. In addition to powerful Optic Blasts and exceptional hand-to-hand combat abilities that define the character, this Cyclops also possesses the Phoenix Force, so expect Scott Summers to bring the heat! .We\u2019ll have more to share about how these abilities are incorporated into his gameplay, so please stay tuned for future updates on his fighting style.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\tPlay Video<\/span><\/p>\n Have you had a chance to watch our newly revealed opening movie? For this opening, we set out to combine the spirit of classic fighting game openings with the charm and energy of beloved anime openings from the early 2000s. We hope you\u2019ll enjoy the world created through its animation and rock-inspired theme song.<\/p>\n The opening movie, as well as the cinematic sequences featured throughout Episode Mode, were produced by the Japanese animation studio Sanzigen. Like our team, Sanzigen continues to push the boundaries of high-quality 2.5D expression, and they did a remarkable job bringing the world of MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls to life.<\/p>\n The opening theme song features two iconic Japanese rock vocalists: Keiko Terada of SHOW-YA and mayu of NEMOPHILA. Their powerful and captivating dual vocals bring an even greater sense of energy and excitement to the game.<\/p>\n The lyrics were written by Kanata Okajima, while composition and arrangement were handled by MEG (MEGMETAL). The opening animation was directed by Daisuke Suzuki of Sanzigen. As a passionate Marvel fan himself, Suzuki\u2019s enthusiasm can be felt throughout the entire production. We hope you\u2019ll enjoy the opening movie, and we\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on social media.<\/p>\n \t\t \t\tclose Through our collaboration with Insomniac Games, we\u2019re pleased to bring costumes inspired by the worlds of Wolverine to MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls. \u201cWolverine Battle Reborn Suit\u201d will be available starting September 1st, and all players will be able to download it at no additional cost.<\/p>\n During development, we had the opportunity to visit Insomniac Games\u2019 studio and share an in-development version of the game with their team. Their valuable feedback and advice were a tremendous source of encouragement throughout development, and we\u2019d like to once again thank everyone at Insomniac Games for their support.<\/p>\n As previously announced, the Ultimate Edition also includes a costume inspired by the Advanced Suit 2.0 featured in Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2.<\/p>\n Historically, alternate costumes have been relatively limited in Arc System Works titles. With MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls, however, we\u2019ve placed a much greater emphasis on costume development as one of the ways players can enjoy their favorite characters in new ways. We have plans to continue adding a variety of costumes in the future, so please look forward to what\u2019s ahead.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \t\t \t\tclose Launch is now just around the corner, and we\u2019re excited to welcome players to the MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls Open Beta, taking place from July 24 through July 26.<\/p>\n The Open Beta will be available to everyone on PlayStation 5 consoles and PC.* In addition, while we originally planned for the Open Beta roster to include 15 characters, we\u2019ve decided to make Green Goblin playable as well. We hope you\u2019ll take this opportunity to experience our team-based battles firsthand with a diverse roster of heroes and villains.<\/p>\n This will be your final opportunity to play the game for free before launch, so if you\u2019re considering picking up MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls, we encourage you not to miss this chance.<\/p>\n As we count down to launch, we\u2019ll also be sharing special countdown illustrations created by members of the development team and an exciting lineup of Marvel guest artists. We hope you\u2019ll enjoy those as well. For us, launch day is not the finish line\u2014it\u2019s the starting point. Following release, we\u2019re planning a variety of updates, including new characters, new stages, and more.<\/p>\n Your enthusiasm and support continue to inspire us every day. Thank you for supporting MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls, and we look forward to seeing you in the fight.<\/p>\n *\u00b9Account for PlayStation and internet connection required to participate in Open Beta.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello everyone, I am Takeshi Yamanaka, Producer of MARVEL T\u014dkon: Fighting Souls.
