 ### New Features
 
+* Emitter.emitParticle now has 4 new optional arguments: `x`, `y`, `key` and `frame`. These allow you to override whatever the Emitter default values may be and emit the particle from the given coordinates and with a new texture.
+
 ### Updates
 
-* TypeScript definitions fixes and updates (thanks @clark-stevenson @milkey-mouse)
+* TypeScript definitions fixes and updates (thanks @clark-stevenson @milkey-mouse @timotei @qdrj)
 * JSDoc typo fixes (thanks @rwrountree)
 * Math.average has been optimized (thanks @rwrountree #2025)
+* Change splice.call(arguments, ..) to use slice instead (thanks @pnstickne  #2034 #2032)

+* This function is used internally to emit the next particle in the queue.
+*
+* However it can also be called externally to emit a particle.

+* When called externally you can use the arguments to override any defaults the Emitter has set.
 *
 * @method Phaser.Particles.Arcade.Emitter#emitParticle
+* @param {number} [x] - The x coordinate to emit the particle from. If `null` or `undefined` it will use `Emitter.emitX` or if the Emitter has a width > 1 a random value between `Emitter.left` and `Emitter.right`.
+* @param {number} [y] - The y coordinate to emit the particle from. If `null` or `undefined` it will use `Emitter.emitY` or if the Emitter has a height > 1 a random value between `Emitter.top` and `Emitter.bottom`.
+* @param {string|Phaser.RenderTexture|Phaser.BitmapData|Phaser.Video|PIXI.Texture} [key] - This is the image or texture used by the Particle during rendering. It can be a string which is a reference to the Cache Image entry, or an instance of a RenderTexture, BitmapData, Video or PIXI.Texture.
+* @param {string|number} [frame] - If this Particle is using part of a sprite sheet or texture atlas you can specify the exact frame to use by giving a string or numeric index.
 * @return {boolean} True if a particle was emitted, otherwise false.
