Darlings, Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls just dropped its final launch team at EVO 2026 and the Samurai Outriders are serving dark hero realness with Ghost Rider leading Blade, Loki, and Deadpool into the 4v4 tag chaos. Arc System Works and Sony revealed the squad via the official PlayStation Blog, complete with Asgard as a new stage and character-specific mechanics like Blade's Muramasa sword seals and Deadpool's fourth-wall strategy guide moves.

Loki gets the trickster treatment with illusions and ice projectiles while the whole crew leans into unpredictable, high-risk playstyles that fit their antihero vibe. A global open beta hits PS5 and PC July 24-26 with Blade playable, and the full game launches August 6 on PS5 and PC with 20 base roster fighters split across five teams.

Community reactions on X are exploding with fans hyped that Blade and Loki finally land in a fighting game, while Deadpool's meta antics already have people memeing his moveset. This roster announcement caps the pre-launch hype without the usual Capcom crossover baggage, and the voice cast—Giancarlo Sabogal as Ghost Rider, Imari Williams as Blade, Jason Spisak as Loki, Nolan North as Deadpool—adds serious star power.

The thirst is real for these designs and the tag-team spectacle, but whether the story mode delivers on the team's evolving dynamic remains the big question heading into beta.
