Marvel Tokon Beta Launches Second, Third Sessions as Streaming Embargo Lifted

Lead PlayStation Studios kicked off the second and third sessions of the Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls closed beta on PS5 today, while officially allowing content creators to stream their matches.

Nut Graf Saturday’s dual sessions offer fans additional hands-on time with the 4v4 tag-team fighter ahead of its 2026 launch, and lifting the streaming embargo underscores the developer’s push to cultivate wider community engagement.

  • Session 3: 1 PM-7 PM PDT (4 PM-10 PM EDT)

Streaming Now Permitted

Arc System Works and PlayStation have clarified that all invited players and creators are free to broadcast gameplay footage during the beta, reversing earlier restrictions and aiming to boost visibility.

  • Single Stage: Marvel’s New York with dynamic transitions

Community Reaction

While many applaud the extended play windows and streaming clearance, some fans remain frustrated by limited invite distribution and session gaps that truncate total playable hours.

What’s Next

The final beta session wraps up tomorrow morning, and future tests are expected ahead of the full release in 2026. Players who missed this round can register via the PlayStation Beta Program for potential invites to upcoming phases.
