Tekken 8 Game Director Harada is giving out in-game rewards if you can defeat his special Ghost in the Tekken 8 Fight Lounge.
If you booted up Tekken 8 after the version 1.09 update you will have receive a pop up about a "special Ghost", which is none other than Harada. The ghost brings in-game rewards if you beat it, so it's definitely worth it.
A special ghost has appeared in the Tekken Fight Lounge! Beat them in a Ghost Battle to receive items. You can try the battle as many times as you want. Some battles will only be available for a limited time.
As the majority of Tekken 8 players do not use Fight Lounge. The special Ghost is likely an initiative to try to get people to visit it more often. Free items is a brilliant way to get players to do so!
The Special Ghost can be found in the same area as the product activation area called the Iron Fist Outfitters which was used during the Tekken x UNIQLO partnership. Read on to find the exact location of the special Ghost, how to beat it and what the rewards are.
