Sign in to your TheGamer account Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls isn’t too far away right now, launching at the start of next month, and we’ve now seen the whole roster that we’ll have to pick our team from. There are plenty of big names, including the likes of Spider-Man, Peni Parker, and Star Lord, but like with any fighting game, more characters will be added in post-launch updates. In fact, we recently got our first look at one of these characters during San Diego Comic Con earlier today, as it has been confirmed by a fan attending the panel that Phoenix Cyclops will be the game’s first official DLC character. Phoenix Cyclops Will Be Added To Marvel Tokon Post Launch If you’re not overly familiar with Marvel (maybe you’ve just played a lot of Rivals like me), then Phoenix Cyclops is just one character. He’s basically a villainous version of the regular Cyclops that we all know and love, taken over by the power of the Phoenix Force in Avengers vs. X-Men. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any game play of what kind of character Phoenix Cyclops will be, nor did we get any kind of release date, but it was confirmed that he’ll be the first additional character to join the game in Year 1, which does suggest that more characters will be added in addition to him as well. If he’s the first character out of the gate, we’ll probably get more information about his playstyle pretty soon, and it’s a fairly good sign for Marvel Tokon itself that it’s getting such an out there pick confirmed as DLC before the game has even released.
