  "account": "Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has garnered praise as one of the best fighting games in recent times, with a developer pedigree that includes Guilty Gear, Blazblue, and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising. Available on PC and PS5, it was released on August 6, 2026. Despite initially being marketed as a 4v4 tag fighter, Arc System Works has made it accessible for players to focus on mastering a single character, with assist characters providing support. The game's onboarding process includes a compelling story mode, featuring five episodes each focusing on a group of heroes or villains, and a training mode for new players. Unfortunately, the PC version of the game is currently facing issues, likely due to corporate meddling, including intrusive anti-cheat features and forced PlayStation Network account creation. However, the game's single-player story mode, combat mechanics, and visual presentation make it a standout title for fighting game enthusiasts. Its episodes are each about an hour long, offering a fresh experience with each playthrough, and its assist mechanics provide a level of strategy and chaos that keeps matches engaging.",
