Hidden Fighter Debuts in Mortal Kombat, Linked to Rock Icon

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, reminiscent of Reptile's debut as a hidden fighter in the original Mortal Kombat. Like Reptile, Floyd presents a challenging fight and utilizes a moveset compiled from existing ninja characters.

The community is currently unraveling the mystery of unlocking Floyd. While hints suggest specific challenges must be overcome, the exact method remains elusive, with no definitive confirmation yet available.
