After announcing the initial six characters, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has been weirdly quiet when it comes to revealing more of its roster. I have a feeling that might change in a few days at the PlayStation State of Play. But now, we at least know how many characters the fighting game will have at launch.

The game’s Steam page was updated to include a few new details, chief among them that there will be 20 heroes and villains to choose from when the game launches.

“It’s time to build your dream team and break some spirits in blistering four-versus-four fighting action. 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,” read the page.

Currently, we know about eight of them:

  • Captain America (Steve Rogers)
  • Doctor Doom
  • Ghost Rider (Robbie Reyes)
  • Iron Man
  • Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)
  • Spider-Man (Peter Parker)
  • Star-Lord
  • Storm

Interestingly, the Steam page updates have been removed, ripping away mention of the 20 characters and the story mode. It seems like the update was accidental – perhaps someone jumping the gun before the the game is shown at the State of Play on February 12.

For a game based around 4v4 fighting, having just 20 characters seems rather low. Of course, it’s really a 1v1 fighter with tag-movies and assists, but it’s still a smaller roster than I thought.
