Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls just revealed Blade, Deadpool, and Loki as the Samurai Outriders team and locked PS5 and PC open beta dates for July 24 and 26. Social posts highlight Deadpool as a lovingly referential fighting-game cameo, calling out his Jack-O pose and a character bio about a strategy guide that winks at genre history. Other threads focus on Blade’s cinematic look and emotional reactions to his reveal, while one post notes Nolan North credited as Deadpool and fans pointing out Guilty Gear and Mortal Kombat nods in the trailer.

Loki's place on my team is entirely riding on how much of a diva he is 😤

3 Black folks in the starting roster of a fighting game, that’s huge.

Treethan 🎮 Final Fantasy VII6

I know for a fact Magik is a day 1 pick, Blade is sick as fuck so him too, after that it's a tossup of Storm, Star-Lord and Loki probably I'd say Spider-Man but his ass is always way too hard to play for me lmaoooooooo

Daily Black Video Game Characters4

About damn time Blade showed up in a Marvel fighter.

S h i n y ! ?4

Havent fully decided a team yet, but Peni is definitely on there at least. Otherwise, might try Peni/Magisk/Doom/Loki or switch one of them for Ms. Marvel or Blade. Liking this roster!

Kai4

so many I need to try out Cap is probably certain for my team, but then three out of: Storm, Danger, Logan, Star-Lord, Peni, Shuri, Mags, Doom, Carnage, Blade, Loki

Maria the Mutt4

anyone who doesnt fuck with this roster is just wrong, this shit bangs hard. like you have to be the most cynical unhappy mf to think this roster isnt sick as hell

Adnan “The Hype” of the FGC3

Whenever Cyclops gets left out of a Marvel and X-Men game lineup, everyone should be asking: "Where is Cyclops?"

Marvel Tokon team based off of my doodles as an underhanded way to get in on that trending.

Deadpool has several references to Guilty Gear in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

Think some references to some others fighting games. Definitely Mortal Kombat, but also Tekken's Yoshimitsu stab and MvC Dr Doom dive kick?

@sickcombos.bsky.social

Deadpool in Marvel Tokon looks to be one of the most referential fighting game characters ever made i love when eastern devs show western developed games some love as well, this game is perfect for that

Deadpool uppercuts Wolverine and his Toasty! image appears in the bottom right looking just like Dan Forden

going over more of the footage and the references-per-second are absolutely unprecedented this is like someone put Terrance Bongo in a mainline fighting game

The Shotostar5

I think this might be the first time Mortal Kombat was directly referenced in a Japanese game like this, in a way it's coming full circle with how much MK built itself off SF2 and eventually Tekken through its own inspirations.

ngl the Deadpool bit of that marvel tokon trailer gets an a+ out of me, I’m not even a massive Deadpool fan or anything, but man, they went ham as hell on the anime / FG references
