This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprising addition alongside the highly anticipated Conan the Barbarian: a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! While initially appearing as a joke, Floyd is a legitimate, albeit secret, fighter.
A clear nod to the iconic Pink Floyd, Floyd's design and introduction are inspired by the Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing the dispersion of light into various colors. Interestingly, his moveset is a unique 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, Floyd boasts a quirky 1337 health points.
Long-time fans might experience a sense of déjà vu, recalling Reptile, the secret fighter from the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Floyd, Reptile was notoriously difficult to defeat and employed a moveset compiled from other ninja characters.
Currently, unlocking Floyd remains a mystery. The community is actively searching for the specific triggers, with Floyd himself offering cryptic clues to the required challenges. A definitive method for encountering this unexpected addition hasn't yet been confirmed.
