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! No, this isn't a joke; he's a fully playable character.
Floyd's design is a clear nod to Pink Floyd, referencing the iconic prism from the Dark Side of the Moon album cover. Interestingly, his moveset is a blend of techniques borrowed from other ninjas in the game, incorporating Sub-Zero's freeze abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. He even boasts a quirky 1337 health stat.
This secret character release echoes the original Mortal Kombat's hidden fighter, Reptile. Like Floyd, Reptile was notoriously difficult to unlock and utilized a moveset compiled from other ninjas.
Uncovering Floyd currently presents a challenge for players. While hints exist within the game suggesting specific challenges unlock him, the exact method remains elusive and seemingly random. Confirmation of the precise unlock conditions is still pending.
