Did Marvel Tokon’s comic book tie-in spoil the Year 1 DLC characters?
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls launched with 20 characters on the starting roster (plus one more that needs to be unlocked), and the game is surely going to receive quite a few more in the future.
Their Year 1 DLC plans include four new fighters along with an additional stage, but some fans are thinking they may have already figured out their identities.
PlayStation themselves have already revealed Phoenix Cyclops as the first post-launch character coming this Fall, so what about the rest?
Well, Marvel also released their Marvel Tokon: First Strike comic book tie-in’s first issue to coincide with the fighting game, which features some more interesting characters who aren’t currently in the game.
Potential spoilers for Marvel Tokon’s first season of DLC to follow.
The opening pages of the comic show The Promoter speaking with Shalla-Bal Silver Surfer, which could prove to be an interesting inclusion if true.
Moreover, we also see appearances from Nova as well as Thor, so that would equate to the potential four-character season there.
As to whether or not we believe that will be the case, however, we’re not putting too much stock in those cameos as of yet.
The Marvel universe is vast with hundreds of different characters hanging around, so it’s more likely in our eyes that they’re featured more to flesh out the story and setting.
Marvel Tokon itself contains references and cameos to heroes who aren’t in the game now like the Fantastic Four, and they obviously wouldn’t fit into this season.
The official store page for Marvel Tokon’s Year 1 Characters & Stage pass was recently updated to include each DLC’s intended release window, so we can at least get an idea of when they’ll be coming out.
Let us know in the comments below what you think about these comic book cameos and who you would like to see as DLC in Marvel Tokon moving forward.
