In fighting games, you normally unlock characters by completing campaign or story mode. This varies from one game to another, but the principle is the same\u2014play the game. In previous versions of\u00a0Tekken, you have to beat the story mode a couple times to unlock all characters.

Are there unlockable characters in Tekken 8? The good news is\u2014there are no unlockable characters in\u00a0Tekken 8. There are 32 characters in the roster available since the launch. All characters are available from the get-go in the versus mode. While you know most of them, two are completely new\u2014Reina\u00a0and Victor Chevalier. Speaking of Reina, you can get her\u00a0Character Episode\u00a0by\u00a0completing the main story. This is also true for Jun Kazama, a mother of Jin Kazama and a fighter combining traditional martial arts with the force of nature. Throughout the Character Episodes, you learn more about the\u00a0characters\u2019 backstory\u00a0and motives. You play through five unique encounters, and at the end, you get a cinematic that sheds light on the character.\u00a0 On top of all that, you can expect more familiar faces to join\u00a0Tekken 8\u2019s roster in the future. Bandai Namco has promised\u00a0DLC updates\u00a0further down the road, including a content roadmap reveal at\u00a0Tekken\u00a0World Tour Finals 2023. Fans found out that Eddy Gordo, who made his debut back in\u00a0Tekken 3, will be released as the first DLC fighter.\u00a0 While Eddy Gordo will be released in spring 2024, you can expect three more characters to be released this year.
