Sony reversed its region lock policy for several major PC releases on Steam last year, but it remains in place for some titles, including Arc System Worksโ highly anticipated fighting game, MARVEL Tลkon: Fighting Souls. Despite preorders going live, the game is unavailable to purchase in multiple regions on Steam.
Even though Marvel Tokon is developed by Arc System Works, a studio not owned by Sony, Sony is still publishing it on PS5 and PC. Given its multiplayer focus, the regional restrictions are likely due to the unavailability of PlayStation Network in certain regions, which is basically confirmed by the strict PlayStation account requirement.
It’s great to see the excitement around Marvel Tokon pre-orders! It’s a bit disappointing that some regions are still locked out, though. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon so everyone can join in on the fun.
I agree, the excitement is palpable! It’s interesting to consider how these region locks can affect a game’s community and accessibility. Hopefully, Marvel will find a way to include those locked-out regions in the future for a more inclusive experience.
Absolutely, the region locks definitely create a divide among gamers. Itโs fascinating to see how companies are navigating this issue, especially with the growing demand for global access to games. Hopefully, as more players express their concerns, weโll see some positive changes in the near future!
