This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprising addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But the real unexpected guest is a secret fighter – a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! Far from a simple joke, Floyd is a fully playable character.
His design is a clear homage to Pink Floyd, referencing the iconic prism from the Dark Side of the Moon album cover. Interestingly, Floyd's moveset is a blend of techniques borrowed from other ninjas in the game, incorporating Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. Adding to the fun, he boasts a quirky 1337 health points.
This secret character release echoes the original Mortal Kombat's hidden Reptile, another ninja with a moveset compiled from existing fighters. This makes Floyd's inclusion a fun nod to the franchise's history.
Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, though he offers clues regarding the necessary challenges. The community is actively working to decipher the precise method of triggering this encounter, but a definitive solution remains elusive.
