Marvel Tokon Faces Blockade in 132 Countries: PSN Issues to Blame?
In a surprising turn of events, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, the highly anticipated tag-team fighting game from PlayStation and Arc System Works, has hit a snag. The game has been barred from launching in a whopping 132 countries, and it seems like the culprit is linked to restrictions from the PlayStation Network (PSN).
Fans eager to dive into the action upon the game’s release in August 2026 are understandably disappointed after discovering that many regions, including Afghanistan, Haiti, Serbia, and Egypt, will not have access to the game on Steam.
While no official reason has been given for this blockade, many gamers suspect that the unavailability of PSN in these countries is the main issue. This isn’t the first time PlayStation fans have faced this type of dilemma; back in 2024, players were similarly affected by PSN access restrictions for the game Helldivers 2. Although that situation saw some resolution after players voiced their concerns, it doesn’t seem likely that things will change for Marvel Tokon anytime soon.
The frustration only escalates when you consider the list of affected countries, which stands at 132 for Marvel Tokon, compared to the 177 impacted by the Helldivers 2 situation. Clearly, many PS5 users in these regions are going to miss out on the chance to play at launch.
As of now, Arc System Works hasn’t provided any further insights into the situation. Meanwhile, Sony’s Interactive Entertainment branch has been in hot water recently, facing scrutiny after an internal document hinted at shifting away from releasing single-player titles on PC. Moreover, they are set to cease physical disk production for new games by early 2028.
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is slated for release on August 6, 2026, for PS5 and PC. The game promises to feature an exciting roster with iconic characters like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, plus newcomers like Blade, Deadpool, Loki, and classic villains such as Carnage, Green Goblin, and Magneto.
