How to unlock Jun Kazama’s side story in Tekken 8

By DeAngelo Epps February 5, 2024

Tekken 8‘s story doesn’t end with the completion of story mode. There are still a few loose ends that the “The Dark Awakens” story mode doesn’t cover. The big elephant in the room for fans everywhere is: What happened to Jun Kazama — if Ogre didn’t kill her, what happened?

While we don’t find out the exact truth in the main story mode, we can unlock Jun’s Side Story to find it.

To unlock Jun Kazama’s side story, you’ll have to beat Tekken 8‘s story mode, which is 15 chapters and takes around six hours or less. Once you finish the final battle, you can go to the game’s gallery mode to watch a cutscene that fills us in on what was happening with Jun during her disappearance in Tekken 3 through Tekken 7. This is the only side story in the game and the only Special categorized unlockable cutscene.

How to unlock Jun and Reina’s Character Episodes in Tekken 8

In classic Tekken fashion, Tekken 8 is full of lore, as well as additional "what if" lore content. With a brilliant new story mode and a lot of catch-up material jam-packed into the game, there's a lot to take in.

Accompanying all of the canon narratives of the title are Character Episodes — mini arcade mode runs that feature each character in their final matches of the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Upon completing four fights, you're given a gorgeous cinematic ending that showcases what would happen if your selected fighter wins.

How to unlock Alternate Outfit 3 in Tekken 8

Everyone who's been playing Tekken since Tekken 5 knows that the game is secretly a fashion show. With a fun customization mode that allows you to change up your favorite fighter's style, it's hard for it not to be.

This returns in Tekken 8 and, as always, players can spend earned in-game currency in the shop to unlock more accessories and cosmetics. However, one outfit has to be unlocked instead of bought, and that's Alternate Outfit 3. This style is a variation of each character's main look that usually removes something from that ensemble such as a hoodie or overshirt.

You can play as Resident Evil 4’s Leon Kennedy in Tekken 8 … sort of

Leon Kennedy in Tekken 8

Tekken 8 has only been out for a few days, but folks on the internet have already found a way to make some incredibly convincing recreations of some of their favorite characters from other properties. Perhaps one of the most impressive seen so far is a version of Leon Kennedy that closely resembles his appearance in the recent Resident Evil 4 remake, giving players an opportunity to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament as a zombie-slaying brawler ... well, sort of.

As shown by YouTube creator Dan Allen Gaming, it's entirely possible to replicate Leon Kennedy's look to quite a shocking level using Tekken 8's detailed character customization features. Everything from his iconic leather bomber jacket to his quintessential '90s haircut is nailed perfectly here by using popular fighter Lars as a base for the customization due to his similarity to Leon in frame and stature.
