This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprising addition alongside the announced Conan the Barbarian: a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! This isn't a joke; Floyd is a legitimate, albeit unexpected, secret fighter.
The character is clearly a nod to the iconic rock band Pink Floyd, his design echoing the band's Dark Side of the Moon album cover, which famously depicts the dispersion of light into colors. Interestingly, Floyd's moveset is a compilation of techniques 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 points.
Long-time fans might experience a sense of déjà vu, recalling the original Mortal Kombat's secret character, Reptile. Like Floyd, Reptile was a difficult-to-find opponent whose moves were a blend of other ninjas' techniques.
Currently, unlocking Floyd remains a mystery. While the community is actively searching for the trigger, Floyd himself seems to offer clues regarding the necessary challenges. However, a definitive method for encountering him hasn't been confirmed.
