Of all the things I expected to see and hear when playing the newest entry in the Mortal Kombat series — and, given this series’ reputation, I was expecting the most — sly digs at American president #45 were pretty low on the list. But developer Netherrealm Studios delivered, and they didn’t do it subtly.

I got an early promo code for Mortal Kombat 11 and have been playing it over the weekend, enjoying the new characters and the old favorites. To set the scene, the combatants (oh, sorry, “Kombatants”) in the match where this happened are Jackson “Jax” Briggs, an American Special Forces soldier, and Erron Black, an Outworld assassin with a ten-gallon hat and six shooters — and actor Troy Baker really leans into his Texas accent when voicing the latter. Now, when two opponents are about to face off in MK, they share some banter, which usually (but not always) sets up why the two are fighting.
