Mortal Kombat 11just launched, and as can be expected, Warner Bros. Interactive’s marketing campaign for the game is in full swing. One way that Warner Bros. Interactive has decided to promoteMortal Kombat 11is by hiringSNLcast member and comedian Pete Davidson to appear onThe Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallonto talk about the game. During his segment, Davidson revealed that there’s one character on theMortal Kombat 11roster he hates.
As it turns out, Davidson is not a fan ofMortal Kombat 11’s Johnny Cage. “So he does splits and punches you in the d*** is his special move,” Davidson explained to Fallon. “And he just looks like everybody I grew up with in Staten Island so I just kill that dude. I enjoy killing him.”
Davidson added that another issue he has with Johnny Cage is his daughter, Cassie Cage. “Also he has like a hot daughter which is like weird because I’m lonely and she’s like not real. So there’s that in the video game as well: sexual confusion.”
While he may dislike some of the characters inMortal Kombat 11, Davidson went the extra mile to promote the game with his attire. Not only was he wearing aMortal Kombat 11t-shirt, but he was also wearingMortal Kombat-branded shoes as well. Davidson went on to talk about how he is building his own personal arcade in his home, and joked that he may get aMortal Kombatcabinet for it.
Pete Davidson is just the latest celebrity involved withMortal Kombat 11. NetherRealm has used WWE wrestlers to promote the game as well, and even castRonda Rousey as Sonya Bladein the game. Additionally, actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprises his role as Shang Tsung from the 1995Mortal Kombatmovie in the Krypt and as the game’s first DLC character.
Perhaps more celebrities will become involved withMortal Kombat 11in the future, especially if the rumoredMortal Kombat 11DLC characterslike Spawn and The Terminator come to the game.
Mortal Kombat 11is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
