Easter eggs are always fun to discover in games, and sometimes, the developers themselves give the community hints as to where or how to find them. One particular Easter egg in popular fighting game Mortal Kombat 11 has eluded the community for years since its original announcement by NetherRealm Studios Senior Designer Aaron Davis. Recently, however, the Easter egg was finally found by YouTuber Waz and his community.

The Easter egg in question involves Erron Black and can only be done in a real match. Upon winning a round, Erron Black tosses a coin before putting it in his pocket, but as it turns out, you can actually hold the Up button and this will change the animation to Black tossing the coin to his opponent. There also seems to be a voice line associated with this hidden win animation, with Black taunting “keep the change,” though Waz states in the video that he isn’t sure how to trigger the voice line itself.

Easter eggs are still very much alive in video games today, with a sci-fi version of a popular sea shanty being a secret recording you can find in the Dead Space remake. It’s always nice to see these details from developers, as it gives the games a more human and creative touch.
