By It’s looking so freakin’ good

This week, Sony announced its first officially licensed PS5 arcade stick will be named FlexStrike, and will be playable at Evo later this week.
While we covered the new peripheral in its entirety already, those of you who didn’t watch the trailer may have missed out on the fact that it includes new Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls gameplay.
Now, we know the title’s set to feature heavily at Evo, so consider this an appetiser ahead of an incoming gourmet of gameplay. But hey, the hype is real, huh?
Sony’s show floor demo for the upcoming Arc System Works fighter will be playable across a trio of control schemes, including the DualSense, the all-button Razer Kitsune which doesn’t have a joystick, and the Nacon Daija Arcade Stick.
There’ll also be a panel at 8PM PT on Friday, 1st August, where new characters are expected to be announced.
If you’re not sure what time that is in your region, we’ve put together a guide below:
- North America: 8pm (Fri) PDT / 9pm (Fri) MDT / 10pm (Fri) CDT / 11pm (Fri) EDT
- UK/Ire: 4am BST
- Europe: 5am CEST / 6am EEST
- Asia/Oceania: 12pm JST / 11am AWST / 1pm AEST
Of course, we’ll bring you all of the news as it breaks. Are you excited for this big week of fighting game news? Let us know in the comments section below.
