Push Square has explained why its review of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls will not be published on the game's PS5 launch day. Sony has withheld review code until launch because of the fighting game's live-service, online nature, meaning the outlet cannot access multiplayer servers or fully assess the game beforehand. This delay is notable given readers would typically expect a review to coincide with release.

Without early access, the reviewers have not yet tried characters such as Deadpool, tested the single-player campaign, or explored all the game's modes, all of which now has to happen after launch alongside the public servers going live. Push Square says it is difficult to give a precise timeline but tentatively expects to publish its review early the following week.
