Tekken 7, the most recent installment in the Tekken franchise, has over 50 characters from prior games.

Each character has their own look and playstyle, giving the player a variety of alternatives to suit their preferences and abilities.

Following the purchase of the game, 36 characters will be accessible for use in combat against one another. However, the remaining 16 must be obtained in a variety of ways.

Here’s how to gain each of Tekken 7’s unlockable characters.

DLC Characters

Eliza

Eliza was the first unlockable character in Tekken 7, and she was only available to those who pre-ordered the game. She became available for purchase 30 days after the game’s release. The Vampire Queen has a distinct playstyle and is capable of dealing significant damage. If you wish to test out this character, you’ll have to buy her from your platform’s respective DLC store.

Geese Howard

This guest character is from the Fatal Fury fighting game series, and Tekken 7 was his debut appearance in the Tekken franchise. This was one of the game’s earliest DLC characters, and it’s still available for purchase in the store.

Kunimitsu

Kunimitsu, the latest incarnation of a character first debuted in the first Tekken game, is available as part of Tekken 7’s fourth season pass or separately through the store. One more character will be published as part of this season pass, although the identity of that figure has yet to be announced.

Characters that are not in the main cast

Devil Kazuya

Devil Kazuya, one of the franchise’s most popular characters, is not available as a single character. This version of Kazuya Mishima can only be obtained by transforming while playing the character during a match.

You must employ Devil Kazuya’s Rage Art by hitting the front right bumper on your controller to start the transformation. However, the change is only temporary and is presently the only option to access the character in Tekken 7.

Violet

Violet, a previously established character in the franchise, is not accessible as a standalone character, but rather as an alternate look for Lee Chaolan. You must select Lee as player two in order to see this appearance. When picking Lee from the character menu, press square or circle to do so.
