Try Mortal Kombat X DLC Fighter Jason Voorhees for Free This Weekend

If you're interested in Mortal Kombat X's Jason Voorhees but aren't sure if the DLC character is worth the money, you can take the character out for a spin for free this weekend.

Making good on its promise to let players try DLC characters without actually buying them, developer NetherRealm Studios is giving Jason Voorhees his own challenge tower, which is available to all players until Monday.

Mortal Kombat X's challenge towers, which rotate regularly, test your skills in a series of fights with special conditions. The Jason Voorhees Premiere Tower includes six matches, and will give you two shots with each of the character's three fighting styles.

Some other DLC characters you can expect to show up in the Premiere Tower for free include Predator, Tanya, and Tremor. If you decide you want all of them (along with some extra skins), you'll be able to pick up the Kombat Pack for $30.

Mortal Kombat X enjoyed a record-breaking launch back in April, and came in at the top of NPD's chart for physical sales for the month. Earlier this week, the game got a new patch for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, which makes numerous gameplay fixes, character-specific changes, and introduces the Klassic Reptile costume.

Mortal Kombat X scored an eight in GameSpot's review, praised for its solid fighting mechanics and the challenges offered, but criticized for its monetization model.
