In the expansive roster of Tekken 8, featuring a mix of classic veterans and intriguing newcomers, the initial character selection may surprise you. Starting the game won’t grant you access to its complete lineup of 32 playable characters. Instead, you begin with 30 fighters, and the remaining two – Reina and Jun Kazama – need to be unlocked. Here’s how to swiftly add these popular fighters to your roster.
How To Unlock Reina And Jun Kazama
When you attempt to select Reina or Jun Kazama at the start of Tekken 8, you’ll encounter a message indicating that you must progress further in the “Darkness Awakens” story mode to unlock them. Contrary to expectations, their availability is not tied to specific story chapters but is contingent on completing the entire “Darkness Awakens” story.
Both Reina and Jun Kazama will be unlocked upon the completion of all 15 chapters in “The Darkness Awakens.” This typically takes around four hours, including cutscenes. If you prefer a quicker approach, focusing solely on matches can reduce the time to one or two hours.
Once you’ve successfully completed the main story mode, you’ll receive Fight Money, unique costumes for Jin and Kazuya, and a notification that Reina and Jun are now accessible. Subsequently, you can choose to play as either character in various game modes, whether making them your main in Arcade Quest or delving into their Character Episodes to unravel Tekken 8’s full narrative.
Start on your Tekken 8 journey, unlocking these formidable fighters and experiencing the thrill of battle with Reina and Jun Kazama at your command.
