So here’s a guide that will help players unlock this:

How to trigger the secret alternate ending in Tekken 8?

To trigger the set of the 2 hidden cutscenes, players must lose the final round of the battle at the end of the game. If players make a mistake and lose any prior round instead of the final one, they will see the game over/restart screen.

Players will be fighting in the desolate crater. Here, they will have to fight through 6 prolonged and challenging rounds.

In the final (sixth) round, players must let themselves get shattered and defeated. The opponent will be in rage mode during this round, so it should be pretty easy for players to lose to them.

The game has an auto-parry system that may make this a little more tricky. Moreover, the game also gives players more health if they lose consecutively. Players should try to duck and negate the autoblock as much as possible. Getting hit quickly and efficiently will help players earn the secret ending.

What happens in this ending?

This ending is really dark and gritty. It showcases the hero Jin losing to Kazuya and being thrown off a cliff. Additionally, the cutscene showcases Kazuya in his office in a mysterious scene that will shock players when they see it.

This ending, a secret cutscene, is one to witness, and players should try to experience it at least once. Moreover, this ending truly showcases the surprisingly dark tone of Tekken 8.

It is worth mentioning that Bandai Namco’s developers truly showcased their storytelling skills with this. They went all out because this is the first Tekken game with multiple endings.
