Arc System Works reveals three new villains for Marvel Tōkon

Three new villains will join the fight in the upcoming tag-team fighting game Marvel Tōkon Fighting Souls, developer Arc System Works announced during a recent PlayStation State of Play presentation. Magneto, Green Goblin, and Carnage will form the "Knights of Doom" team alongside the previously revealed Doctor Doom when the game launches on August 6 for PlayStation 5 and PC.

The announcement trailer showcased the characters' distinct fighting styles. Magneto, a veteran of the Marvel vs. Capcom series, was shown using his magnetic powers to hurl metal debris at opponents from a distance.

The final three slots belong to a team led by Ghost Rider, which is expected to be unveiled before the game's release. Other confirmed teams include the "Fighting Avengers" with Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, and Black Panther,...
