This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprise addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But the truly unexpected newcomer is a pink-clad ninja named Floyd – a secret, playable character.
This isn't a joke; Floyd is a fully realized fighter, a clear nod to the iconic Pink Floyd. His introduction mirrors the band's Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing a light prism effect. Interestingly, many of Floyd's moves are borrowed from other ninjas in the game, incorporating Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. He even boasts a quirky 1337 health stat.
Long-time Mortal Kombat fans will recognize a parallel to Reptile, the hidden character in the original game. Like Floyd, Reptile was notoriously difficult to defeat and utilized a moveset compiled from other ninjas.
Unlocking Floyd currently appears random, though the character offers clues regarding the necessary challenges. The community is actively working to decipher these clues, but a definitive unlock method remains unconfirmed.
