Hulk and Black Panther revealed for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls

During EVO Japan 2026, Arc System Works announced Hulk and Black Panther are joining Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

Hulk and Black Panther will be joining previously revealed Captain America and Iron Man to form the brand-new team: The Fighting Avengers.

Aside from the character reveals a new stage also came. Wakanda and a new threat were revealed: The Champion.

Here is an overview of the new stage, threat, and the new playable characters via Sony:

Wakanda

Wakanda is a nation located in Africa, blessed with rich natural landscapes while also standing as a global leader in advanced scientific technology. Traditionally protected by its king, the Black Panther, Wakanda is now ruled by the young Black Panther, Shuri, who has taken on the mantle to defend her people.

New Threat: The Champion

One of the Elders of the Universe, Champion has existed since the birth of the universe and travels the cosmos alongside his right-hand showwoman, Promoter. A cosmic conqueror obsessed with hand-to-hand combat, he journeys from planet to planet in search of worthy opponents.

Those who fail to satisfy his thirst for battle face the ultimate consequence: the destruction of their entire world.

And now, his next target has been chosen: Earth.

Under Promoter’s direction, the “Challenge of the Champion” tournament has been announced. Teams of four will battle through qualifiers, earning the right to face Champion himself. But is there more to this sinister game than just sport?

Hulk

A green goliath whose strength grows with his rage, Hulk once fought alongside the Avengers to save the world. However, in MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, his overwhelming power and instability lead the government, S.H.I.E.L.D., and even his fellow teammates Captain America and Iron Man, to exile him to the Savage Land.

Black Panther

Ruler of the great African nation of Wakanda, Shuri protects her country as the Black Panther.

Having only recently inherited the mantle, she struggles with doubts about whether she is truly ready for the role.

As a new threat approaches, Shuri must make critical decisions, not only as a warrior but as a queen who must balance tradition and progress.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls releases on August 6 for PlayStation 5 and PC. The game will be playable at Combo Breaker 2026 and Hong Kong Comic Con 2026 for attendees to try out.
