Marvel Tokon Devs Confess Regaining Trust After Fumbled PC Launch Will Be 'Extremely Challenging'
Arc System Works has apologized for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls' PC launch and admitted it will be "extremely difficult" to regain player trust.
Arc System Works, the developer behind Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, has admitted that regaining player trust following a troubled PC launch will be extremely challenging. Producer Takeshi Yamanaka explained during an interview with VGC that while fans generally praise the game's content, the positive sentiment is not mirrored by users on PC platforms.
Despite the studio receiving high scores from reviewers, the PC version of the game was met with mixed reviews and numerous complaints about performance issues. These problems included stuttering and forced PlayStation sign-in requirements. Even a well-known community content creator, Maximilian Christiansen, uninstalled the game in front of live viewers.
Following the initial release, the studio pushed out an update to fix many of the reported issues, but Steam reviews have yet to fully recover. Yamanaka acknowledged that regaining player trust is an extremely challenging task and that the team is working diligently to address remaining issues. They expressed sincere apologies to players who experienced difficulties and emphasized their commitment to creating an enjoyable gaming environment.
Despite the setbacks, the developer remains optimistic and confident that the game will be an enjoyable experience for players.
