How to unlock Jun's Tekken 8 character episode

Jun is one of two characters, alongside Reina, that does not have a character episode when you first fire up the game. This is primarily to avoid spoiling the game's story for those who want to dive into character episodes early. With that said, Jun's character episode can be unlocked with relative ease (at least, in theory), as you'll need only complete the story mode to unlock it.

Tekken 8's story mode, titled The Dark Awakens, is a multi-chapter narrative that almost plays like an interactive movie that is separated by loads of action-packed fight scenes. You can determine how much of a challenge the game presents according to the difficulty level you select, so it's up to you to decide how hard you'll need to work to complete the story.

That's all there is to know about the Jun character episode. For more intel on Tekken 8, take a look at the best arcade stick to play the game with. Additionally, we've put together a useful guide on how to find Tekken's tutorial, as it can be a little tricky to locate.
