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 nod 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 franchise's history, reminding veteran players of Reptile, the hidden fighter in the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Reptile, Floyd is challenging to unlock and utilizes a moveset compiled from other ninjas.
The community is currently working to decipher the exact method of unlocking Floyd, as his appearance seems somewhat random, though he offers clues about required challenges. A definitive unlock method remains unconfirmed.
