Mortal Kombat 1 added a secret fighter with a reference to a legendary rock band

This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprising addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But an unannounced, unexpected character also joined the fray – a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! This isn't a prank; Floyd is a legitimate, albeit secret, fighter.

Floyd is a clear nod to the iconic Pink Floyd. His introduction mirrors the band's Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing the dispersion of light into various colors. Interestingly, his moveset is a compilation of techniques borrowed from other ninjas, incorporating Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. A fun detail: Floyd boasts 1337 health points.

Long-time Mortal Kombat fans might experience a sense of familiarity. This secret fighter echoes the original game's hidden character, Reptile. Reptile, notoriously difficult to defeat, also utilized a moveset drawn from other ninjas.

Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, with the community actively searching for the specific triggers. While Floyd offers clues regarding required challenges, a definitive method remains unconfirmed.
