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.

Forza Horizon 6 is shaping up to be a new visual showcase, but its PC requirements tell a different story.

Despite the next-gen graphics, the game sticks to relatively approachable specs, especially for modern AAA games. This is a welcome surprise in a time when new titles often feel like they demand a full system upgrade.

DualSene Controller

Sony wants to use your phone as a secondary input for a PlayStation controller, and it might actually change how we play games. 

Gaming controllers have come a long way, but let’s be honest, they haven’t changed that much at all. Sure, we got haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and TMR sensors, but the core design and gameplay have remained the same for decades. Sony might be about to change that, and the solution is your phone.

CRKD ATOM+ Controllers

Gaming on the go has always come with a compromise. You either carry a full-sized controller and accept the bulk, use a compromised controller that lacks features, or use your phone’s touchscreen and accept the frustration. The CRKD ATOM+ aims to address that problem.

The ATOM+ is a palm-sized Bluetooth controller that works across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch 1, PC, mobile devices, tablets, and select Smart TVs. At 90mm x 48mm, it’s small enough to fit even in your pocket, comes with an included wrist strap, and costs only $29.99.
