The Amazing Guardians are a team made up of heroes from a new generation.

Leading the group is your friendly-neighborhood Spider-Man (voiced by Josh Keaton), who answers the call with both great power and great responsibility. He’s joined by the up-and-coming Ms. Marvel (voiced by Dalia Rooni), the profit-seeking space pirate Star-Lord (voiced by Scott Porter), and the interdimensional gadget whiz Peni Parker (voiced by Risa Mei).  

How did these four heroes come together? How will they face an overwhelming threat? Can they work as a team despite their differences? You’ll find out in Episode Mode, where their story unfolds!

One of the newly announced characters is Peni Parker. A Japanese-American student, Peni is a brilliant (and maybe a little eccentric) young scientist.

She pilots SP//dr, a powerful mech suit created by her father, and fights as the spider hero of a parallel universe. In MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, Peni brings SP//dr into battle, using a wide range of gadgets and unique tools to improvise strategies on the fly.

Though she grew up in the United States, Peni occasionally slips into speaking Japanese. Keep an ear out for how this detail is brought to life across different language voiceovers.

The trailer also introduces a mysterious new figure known as the Promoter (voiced by Sabrina Fest). Her true name is Xirena Awhina, and she’s an Elder of the Universe — an ancient alien race that has existed across the cosmos since time immemorial.

True to her title, Xirena travels the galaxy organizing entertainment on a supernova scale.

The Promoter invites our heroes to a high-stakes tournament that will determine the fate of planet Earth.

How will our heroes, and villains, rise to the challenge? And is the Promoter acting alone? Stay tuned… more will be revealed soon.

We know players love building their own four-character dream teams—and giving them a name to match.

Starting with the latest build, we’ve added a fun new feature: Automatic Team Name Generation. (No, we didn’t patent it!)

Based on your selected characters, the game automatically creates a team name that references Marvel lore. The name appears on screen and is even announced by a ring announcer. Try out different combinations to discover cool, surprising, or just plain fun team names.

Improvements based on the Closed Beta tests feedback

Based on feedback from our two Closed Beta tests last year, we’ve made a number of refinements and improvements to the game.

Watch this video for an overview of the latest gameplay changes.

Detailed patch notes are available on the Discord Server.

To everyone who played the demo and shared their thoughts—thank you! Our development team is continuing to fine-tune the experience right up until launch.

Play the latest demo at EVO Japan 2026

Next, we’ll be bringing the latest hands-on demo to EVO Japan 2026, taking place in Tokyo from 1- 3 May.

This build will feature Peni Parker as a playable character, along with the Knowhere battle stage, which is closely tied to the Amazing Guardians team, bringing the total of playable characters to 12 and 4 stages to choose from at EVO Japan. If you’re attending EVO Japan, we’d love for you to stop by and give it a try.
