Marvel’s Wolverine x Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls
A brand-new collaboration between Insomniac Games and Arc System Works was announced during the panel, Wolverine’s suit from MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls to Marvel’s Wolverine, offering a unique, stylized look for Wolverine in the game which can be unlocked through game progression on Day 1. Marvel’s Wolverine Battle Reborn suit will be available in the upcoming MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls.

Created by writer Len Wein with design by John Romita Sr. and art by Herb Trimpe, Wolverine first slashed his way into comics in The Incredible Hulk #180 in 1974. Though he started as a villainous guest star, the clawed anti-hero rapidly evolved into one of the X-Men’s most iconic members and one of Marvel’s most popular characters overall — spawning movies, animated series, and video games.
