The fallen Elder God Shinnok, a familiar
name to Mortal
Kombat veterans, is threatening to return with the help of sorcerer Quan - Chi and generally just
make life a misery
for everyone, and of course it's up to Raiden and his band of Earth - realm warriors to stop them, dealing with the new Outworld ruler in the process, Kotal Kahn.
Think back to Darlene — briefly — or King Hippo from Nintendo's Punch Out (1985), a boxer whose weak point is inexplicably his belly; Earthquake, from SNK's Samurai Shodown (1993), notorious
for his signature farts; Mortal
Kombat: Deadly Alliance's (2002) Bo Rai Cho, who, same; the lumbering Boomers of Valve's Left 4 Dead (2008) with their exposed bellies and blinding vomit; Bob from NAMCO's Tekken 6 (2009) whose moves are all
named after food; Rufus from Capcom's Street Fighter IV (2009), his belly rigged with its own jiggle physics to
make him a single lethal breast; Roadhog from Activision Blizzard's ferociously popular shooter Overwatch (2016), shirtless and leatherbound, huffing strange fumes to up his health.
