The key points in 30 seconds
What arrives this week
The @RivalsInfo post (over 122K views) sums the week up in two points: the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls crossover with Storm and Iron Man, and the Night of Illusions event. It matches the official Season 10.5 roadmap, which places both on October 30.
- Marvel Tōkon skins: Storm and Iron Man, per the @RivalsInfo image.
- Event: Halloween: Night of Illusions, a new Halloween event.
- Winter Soldier skin: Celestial Messenger, also listed for October 30.
Are they really Storm and Iron Man?
The official Season 10.5 roadmap showed the October 30 Marvel Tokon costume only as silhouettes, without naming the hero. The @RivalsInfo image reveals the designs: a white-maned Storm with lightning and a red and gold Iron Man with a silver crest. It is the best signal available, and it matches what the community already assumed.
Storm got the loudest reaction: her earlier designs did not win everyone over, and this version arrived to a very warm reception. Here is her original art from Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, the Arc System Works fighting game that inspires the crossover.
Iron Man, meanwhile, looks unlike any armor in the game: sharp angles, a silver crest on the helmet and a triangle-shaped chest reactor. This is his art in Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls.
Night of Illusions: the Halloween event
The roadmap calls it Halloween: Night of Illusions and illustrates it with a dark scene of giant hands and a red portal with silhouettes. How it works, how long it lasts and what the rewards are has not been confirmed yet, so assume nothing beyond the name and the date. To catch up on the last big event, read how the 50-player Avengers: Endgame mode against Thanos works.
And after this week
The Season 10.5 roadmap ends with three more dates:
| Date | What arrives |
|---|---|
| October 30 | Night of Illusions, Winter Soldier Celestial Messenger and the Marvel Tokon skin |
| November 6 | Worthy Spider-Man and The Thing Cosmic Cook skins |
| November 13 | Season 11.0 (the roadmap only says Coming Soon) |
Fer's take
To me this is a really good crossover. Storm and Iron Man look great in that style, and I hope they release more Tōkon skins, because most of its skins are God tier.
What the community says
WE WILL BE BUYING THAT STORM SKIN
Finally a Storm skin that makes her look good
Could we not have gotten something else… (instead of iron man not storm)
ANOTHER WINTER SOLDIER TRASH SKIN 🤢
The overall mood is positive, especially for Storm. The complaints point at Iron Man (one fan would have preferred another hero) and the Winter Soldier skin, which did not convince one user.
