  • Future DLC Characters: Doctor B., Miharu Hirano, Sebastian, Slim Bob, Unknown & Violet

    How To Unlock: The way to unlock these playable characters is explained by Katsuhiro Harada. He tweeted (via @Harada_TEKKEN) that the Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Update has gone live on PS3 on October 9th, 2012 and will come to Xbox 360 on November 21st, 2012.
    To quote Mr. Harada: “TTT2 update today! (Char) Miharu, Sebastian, Slim bob. (Stages) Russia, Saudi, Chili, Poland. Online World Arena, Print customize & Equip etc!!”
    Since they are included on the game disc, they are free DLC characters. Why? Because Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada has repeatedly stated (in interviews and via his Twitter account) that all future playable characters DLC will be free, since it is essential to the user experience of Tekken fans.
    Because of that, finishing Arcade mode with the original 54 characters available at launch did not unlock these 6 additional characters.
