I don't think a 2D fighting game can be that big to begin with, regarless of how good it is or the IPs involved.

That being said, I hope we do get characters reveals regularly before and after the game launches (season pass/dlc), and that both Playstation and other IPs get added as well.

If Sony is considering acquiring ASW, which was a rumor not long after the PS5 got released and now as Sony owns the biggest fighting games event in the world, that would make a lot of sense, then they should start to develop some of their characters into the genre and ultimately get their own version of Marvel vs Capcom, which Tokon clearly is getting into.

I think there's definitely enough interest in Tokon based on recaps of that SOP. 

Character reveals every SOP gets potentially more eyes on each SOP (from ppl interested in Tokon specifically) while also giving the game more marketing space to everyone else. 

But I also hope it remains marvel heroes only. Maybe Cole or Kat cause they're basically superheroes, but I'd be disinterested in random crossover characters. Very unnecessary for this game.

There definitely will be a good amount of interest, but keeping expectations in check as far as not expecting something like Street Fighter levels of immediate success. Guilty Gear Strive is ASW’a biggest game in their entire existence and it only sold 3 million copies in 3 years.

Even the Marvel vs Capcom franchise throughout 6 games only sold 12 million copies combined.

I’m expecting Tokon to have similar type results, although I’m hoping for more than that because the games does look sick!
