After stuttering issues plagued the PC version upon launch, Arc System Works was quick to <u>implement a fix<\/u>, turning the tide of public opinion from dismal to delighted. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Many blamed these PC problems on Arc System Works\u2019 anti-datamining measures, which seem to have paid off; one <u>reputable source<\/u> claimed they couldn\u2019t find much, crediting the developer for their efforts in \u2018cleaning up\u2019 the game\u2019s data. In other comments, they said they haven\u2019t come across anything new regarding upcoming costumes or <u>DLC spoilers<\/u> \u2014 but they did mention that they\u2019ve seen assets for a future battle pass, and warned players to \u201cget ready\u201d for what\u2019s next. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">btw, there&#8217;s not much to datamine out of tokon in terms of unreleased content (thank god). arcsys has gotten really good about cleaning up in the last few years<\/p>\n<p>the one thing i did find is battle pass assets, so uh. get ready lol<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ryn \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\u26a7\ufe0f (@WistfulHopes) August 11, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Notable datamining group X0XLEAK also chimed in with some discoveries, specifically mentioning <u>five heroes<\/u> they supposedly discovered during their excursion into Tokon\u2019s files: Doctor Strange, Wasp, Gambit, The Thing, and Daredevil.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Their post also mentioned that these are &#8220;possible prototype\/future characters&#8221; that are \u201csubject to change,&#8221; adding more confusion and speculation onto the subject. Given their description as potential prototype or DLC characters, it stands to reason that these aren&#8217;t background assets, like some of the nonplayable heroes we&#8217;ve seen dotting Tokon&#8217;s various stages.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Whatever the case may be, the mere mention of these names in Tokon\u2019s data has stirred up a heated discussion on social media. Many players are arguing that the only truly unique addition to this roster is Wasp, noting that all the other characters on the list are already playable in Marvel Rivals.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MARVEL TOKON<br \/>Possible prototype\/Future characters mentioned in files <\/p>\n<p>Doctor Strange<br \/>Wasp<br \/>Gambit<br \/>The Thing<br \/>Daredevil<\/p>\n<p>(Subject to change)#MARVELTokon <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SqjYfsIR7w\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/SqjYfsIR7w<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 X0XLEAK (@X0X_LEAK) August 12, 2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Tokon\u2019s roster, similar to that of Rivals, has brought in some lesser-known characters from within the Marvel universe, but the two differ significantly as far as specific picks are concerned. For example, Tokon boasts a far wider variety of true-blue villains in Carnage, Dr. Doom, and Green Goblin. It\u2019s also got a deep cut in Danger, giving the Mutant her first-ever fully playable role in a video game.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For now, it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess as to who\u2019ll appear in Tokon next, but we did get some information regarding future DLC characters at San Diego Comic Con this year. During a panel, it was revealed that Phoenix Cyclops will be the next character to join the fray, leading a team with as-yet unknown members (though it\u2019s likely we see more members of the Phoenix Force). <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Cyclops comes to Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls in Fall 2026. Until then, you can read our glowing review of the game, which IGN\u2019s own Mitchell Saltzman scored a 9 out of 10.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"poll-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Virginia (she\/her) is IGN\u2019s News Editor.
