Havik is a fan-favorite character returning to that you can unlock by engaging with the interactive story mode available in the new entry to this brutal fighting game franchise. A blood priest that brutalizes their own body for grotesque and darkly comedic attacks, Havik has a distinct fighting style that makes them stand out. While Havik may take extra effort to play, his unique gameplay makes this investment worth it.
The character Havik does not become unlock by pre-ordering or purchasing the Premium Edition, even though both of these options will give you free characters.

The only way to get Havik in is to complete every Chapter in the Story Mode once, experiencing the tale of Fire God Liu Kang's New Era from start to finish. Those who have played any of the Netherrealm developed titles from through will be familiar with the story's structure. Several chapters with multiple fights as different characters spaced between cutscenes that tell the main plot.
Depending on your skill level, this process could take from a few hours to a couple longer sessions with the game. Thankfully, the narrative told is engaging as a single-player experience that weaves a tale involving familiar yet different faces from across the series. For example, the green-clad ninja Reptile returns as a character in the reboot with a completely new background that paints them in an entirely new light.

If you want to obtain Havik on the main roster in as fast as possible, go through the Story on the easiest difficulty to make sure fights are quick and painless. Chapter cutscenes can also be skipped, so if you have no interest in the tale being told, simply mash your way to the battles. While this is certainly the most efficient way to get through this mode, you might end up confused at various points for moving ahead.
Those who unlock Havik in now have the chance to pair up this destructive anarchist with any of the game's Kameo fighters, who assist the ruler of Chaosrealm in combat with their own interesting attacks.
