The Marvel Tōkon DLC roadmap brings Phoenix Cyclops on November 2 and plans three more characters and an additional stage for 2027.
Arc System Works has unveiled the Year 1 DLC plan for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls: Phoenix Cyclops will be released on November 2, kicking off the first round of new content for the fighting game. The roadmap includes three more characters and an additional stage, scheduled to follow in 2027.
The fighting game gets its first DLC fighter
Marvel Tōkon is a 4-on-4 team fighting game featuring characters from the Marvel Universe. According to the developer, the game is available for PS5 and PC; Phoenix Cyclops is now the first post-launch character to be added. Previous previews of playable characters have already been released, including the unveiling of additional heroes and teams.
The official Marvel Tōkon channel published the roadmap along with artwork by Marvel artist Peach Momoko. Phoenix Cyclops will receive two costumes—Classic and Legacy—on the same day as his release.
Four characters and a new stage are planned
Following Phoenix Cyclops, Jane Foster’s version of Thor is announced for winter 2027. Venom is set to appear in spring 2027 and will bring a stage set on Klyntar. Jubilee is scheduled to join the roster in summer 2027. Famitsu and GosuGamers have also reported on these characters and the announced release windows.
The content is part of the Year One Characters & Stage Pass. According to Eurogamer, the characters and the stage can also be purchased individually. This means that both a bundled pass and the separate purchase of individual content are available.
Developers Explain the Choice of Phoenix Cyclops
The Phoenix version of Cyclops is set to bring new visuals, optic blasts, and Dark Phoenix gameplay to the game. Producer Takeshi Yamanaka explained on the PlayStation Blog that the team continued development until the character could offer players something new. That’s why Phoenix Cyclops won’t be released at launch, but rather as the first DLC fighter.
Next up is Thor (Jane Foster) in winter 2027; after that, Venom and the Klyntar stage are scheduled for spring, and Jubilee for summer. The release of Phoenix Cyclops is the very next step in the announced roadmap.
