What Time Marvel Tōkon’s Beta Starts (& How Long Does It Last?)

Marvel Games has its fair share of exciting new titles coming out over the next year. One of the most exciting games has got to be Arc System Works’ Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. This upcoming tag team fighter will let players build teams of Marvel heroes and villains to take on a variety of fast-paced, challenging battles and experiences. While the game itself won’t arrive until 2026, the first Closed Beta test is fast approaching.

How Long Does the Marvel Tokon Closed Beta Last?

The first Closed Beta for Marvel Tokon lasts for a little under 2 full days. The test period ends on September 7th at 11:00 PM EDT. After that time, gamers will no longer be able to access Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls.

So far, no additional rounds of beta testing have been announced. However, given that this was the first Closed Beta, it’s possible that future opportunties to playtest Marvel Tokon will arrive ahead of its 2026 release date.
