In the weeks before a new Marvel fighting game arrives, Sony and Arc System Works are opening their doors to anyone curious enough to step inside. Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls — a 4v4 challenger built on the bones of Guilty Gear Strive — enters a 72-hour open beta on July 24, offering a rare moment where a studio invites the world to stress-test its ambitions before committing to them. It is, in the oldest sense, a public audition: the game asking its audience whether it is ready, and the audience asking the same of the game.
