Have you been sitting around your house, playing the new Mortal Kombat and thought to yourself—“ya know, this is fun, but I wish there was a character that I could create a sword made out of water to slice people with?” If so, then your oddly-specific wish is about to come true.

The third new DLC character for Mortal Kombat has been announced, and it will be available on July 19. Taken from Mortal Kombat 3, Rain joins the characters Kenshi and Skarlet, both of whom are currently available for download through Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.

Although the new Mortal Kombat was released back in April, NeatherRealm Studios seems to still be hard at work on the game. Along with Rain, two new character skins for core characters will be released, although which characters those skins will be for was not yet announced. A fourth DLC character is also planned for later this summer, along with two more skins. A patch will also be available at the same time to allow players that have not purchased the characters to face off against them online against people that have the new DLC.

Rain will be available on for download as part of the Xbox season pass, or individually for 400 MS Points on XBL or $4.99 on PSN.

Bravely Default HD Remaster shows the party potential of Switch 2’s mouse controls

An airship flies in Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster.

If I had to describe 2012’s Bravely Default, the very last term I’d use is “party game.” In fact, the Nintendo 3DS RPG is the anti party game. It’s a long, winding adventure that requires a tremendous amount of patience to get through. So it came as a bit of a surprise when the first thought I had after demoing its upcoming Switch 2 version, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, is that it really sells the party potential of Nintendo’s new console.

That’s not because the RPG has changed in any way; it more has to do with its new side content. During a hand-on demo, I tried my hand at the remaster’s two new minigames, which are available as bonuses from the main menu. Both are designed to use the Switch 2’s mouse controls in incredibly clever ways that left me even more eager to see what developers can do with the unique two joy-con scheme.
