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 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 is a clear nod to Pink Floyd, his introduction echoing the band's Dark Side of the Moon album cover with its prismatic light dispersion. Interestingly, his moveset is a blend of other ninjas' techniques, borrowing abilities from Sub-Zero (freezing) and Scorpion (spear attacks). He also boasts a quirky 1337 health points.

This secret fighter evokes memories of Reptile, the hidden character in the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Reptile, Floyd's moves are a compilation of existing ninja techniques, making him a unique and challenging opponent.

Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, though he provides clues to the required challenges. The community is actively searching for the precise trigger, and a definitive method remains unconfirmed.
