Why Marvel Tōkon Chose Phoenix Cyclops for Its First DLC
In a recent PlayStation blog post, Arc System Works explains why Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls chose Phoenix Cyclops, featuring new visuals, Optic Blasts, and Dark Phoenix gameplay.
Takeshi Yamanaka, the game’s producer, said that early in development, the team considered Cyclops part of the Unbreakable X-Men foursome. Yamanaka noted that because of Cyclops’ history in Marvel fighting games, they wanted to distinguish their version of the character from previous games. That led them to choose the Phoenix version of Cyclops, which in turn led to the difficult decision to make him a DLC character rather than a day-one roster member.
During those discussions, our narrative team proposed the idea of using the Phoenix version of Cyclops. We felt this interpretation would allow us to create fresher visuals and a more exciting fighting style while offering something unexpected for players.
As a result, we made the difficult decision to continue working on the character until we felt like we were adding something new to his fighting game legacy. As a result, we’re excited to now release Phoenix Cyclops as our first post-launch DLC character.
Cyclops also has a more traditional costume as an alternative.
