Mortal Kombat to receive Rain DLC on July 19

NewsPublish Date 12/07/2011 - 9:49am GMT+1

Date for second to last DLC character revealed.

Warner Bros. has announced that Rain will be coming to Mortal Kombat via DLC on July 19. The purple-dressed ninja originally appeared in the console version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

According to Mortal Kombat lore, Rain is half god, and as such is able to control rain and lightning. This gives him a series of distinctive special moves that use these weather conditions.

Rain will set you back 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and £3.19 on PS3. If you've bought the Mortal Kombat season pass for Xbox 360 (priced 1200 Microsoft Points) Rain will be yours at no extra cost and you'll get the other three DLC characters: Skarlet and Kenshi are already out, while the final character is still to be revealed.

We rather liked Mortal Kombat on its release in April, awarding it 8/10 in our Mortal Kombat review.

Aye - a mandatory download, separate the online community accordingly, or allow a greater degre of flexibility in choosing opponents. You would have thought funky free new skins would encourage all who own the game to get them, but I forget how stupid 'people' are... :p

Hopefully NetherRealm Studios will learn for future MK titles.

I wish they'd make the compatibility packs mandatory, not optional, it's rare to find anyone who owns one never mind them all.

Those klassic skins (2 per compatability update/new character, NOT the preorder bonuses) are free anyways, though...

Including Klassic Skins which are free. You add it up, you are saving with the Mortal Kombat pass.

But that's 1200 points for just 4 characters.

Always get the Mortal Kombat pass for 360, as all the DLC comes free in a sense. It's only available for a short while as well on the 360, so it's worth it.

The one thing that bothers me is the price. Seems like an awful lot for characters, great as they are.

Very happy with every addition to the roster thus far - can't wait to see what the future holds!

Also, regarding the Classic Costumes to be released with Rain, Boon has hinted with the cryptic 'blueberry and lime'. Thus far, a few clued up afficienados of the series take this to possibly mean Cage/Stryker (with backwards cap!) and Green Leotard wearing Sonja.

:D
