Half god, half severe weather alert, Rain originally debuted in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. It looks like he's retained all of his old tricks, including his lightning bolt, water levitate, and magical-compulsory-teleportation feet. Rain will be available for 400 MS Points ($5), or as part of the Season Pass.

Rain has previously been in MK games released in the 21st century...

@ShingoEX lol +1 MK Armageddon which came out in 2006 later for the Wii in 2007. I am glad NRS bought back Rain's MKT pose.

All I want to know now is who the 4th DLC character is going to be. I know Ed Boon was probably just joking about Ryu or Ken, but I want to believe he wasn't.
I need to believe.
I need to believe.

Rain just about completes Mortal Kombat Trilogy. The only kombatant left is C/Khameleon.

@(Unverified) Let's hope Smoke's Cyber MK3 kostume is included with Rain.

Holy shit! His X-ray move was especially disturbing.

Damnit....I had my volume turned up and now my dog is freaked out because of the thunder at the beginning of the video

Not sure why the character Rain can summon lightening when we already have Raiden and Nightwolf flinging the shit. Should've just stuck with the water abilities.

Because Rain always had lighting abilities. Jeez, you'd think people would complain about something else these days; like taxes or maybe terrorism.

WB, Y U no offer Season Pass for PS3? I love this game, but 20 bucks for 4 characters is more than what I'm willing to pay. I guess I'll wait for a discount...

The saddest part of this trailer: when you watch the footage of one of Rain's fatalities, you'll realize that Netherrealm Studios could have easily had Kitana retain her Kiss of Death fatality, yet they opted to give her another "let's cut off some body parts with her fan" Fatality instead. :(

I am disappointed but unsurprised that there are no new costumes coming along with this. I'll still get it, of course.

@Zach Adams The new costumes, if any, will more likely be announced later in the week.

Just like the 90s. Except now I can be subjected to "water ball, lightning bolt, water ball, lightning bolt, repeat, repeat..." online. Great...

the MK team need better more brutal fatalities - they should do a community fatality vote. Scorpion - breaks your knee , opponent falls onto other knee as scorpion appears behind him puts his right hand under opponents chin to lift his head back and slits his throat with the tip of his spear
next ? :)
next ? :)

Yep. Yet another expensive character that could've been released on the disk...

@The Doom
while you complain about what couldve been done. Lets bear in mind NRS and other companies work for a living. Now while you may or may not relate to this, you have to respect the fact that this is the true way game developers get paid now a days. I for one will never tell a hard working person that he or she does not deserve to feed his/her family for their hard work and efforts. If I sell hard one month and dont get paid properly or get halved because some asshole went to a corporate store instead of coming to my store I'm ready to slap someone. FOOD FOR THOUGHT KIDDO

That's the times now and it doesn't bother me if you can get a bunch of extras for a game as long as they are good enough.
