The title already features a roster of heavy hitters and the game’s first post-launch DLC character was revealed to be Phoenix Cyclops last week at San Diego Comic-Con. The rest of the add-on characters for the game’s first year are still a mystery, but a new leak may have just revealed another surprise fighter.
The leak, which popped up on Reddit, reveals what appears to be an announcement video for The Champion of the Universe. The Champion is going to be game’s final boss and the video seems to suggest that he’ll also be playable after players unlock him.
The leak doesn’t include any specific information about whether the character will be an unlockable character at launch or if they will arrive in a future DLC drop. Gamers who want to check out the leaked footage can find it here, but note that it may be removed in the near future.
For those who aren’t familiar with the upcoming game, MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is a highly-stylized 4v4 tag team fighter set in the Marvel universe. Some of the game’s key features include:
- Choose from an expanding roster of 20 iconic Marvel characters at launch, each rendered in a bold new anime-inspired art style and members of their own unique teams of equally impressive heroes and villains.
- Experiment with team compositions to discover new combos, synergies, and strategies. Blast your way through dynamic stages based on iconic Marvel Universe locales, some featuring interactive stage transitions.
