Mortal Kombat 1 added a secret fighter with a reference to a legendary rock band

This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update delivered a surprise addition alongside the anticipated Conan the Barbarian: a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! This unannounced character is no mere glitch; he's a fully playable, albeit secret, fighter.

Floyd is 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, his moveset is a compilation of techniques borrowed from other ninjas, incorporating Sub-Zero's freeze abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. Adding to the fun, Floyd boasts a quirky 1337 health stat.

This secret character evokes memories of Reptile, the hidden fighter in the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Floyd, Reptile was notoriously difficult to defeat and utilized a moveset drawing from other ninjas.

Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, with the community actively searching for the specific trigger conditions. While Floyd offers clues regarding required challenges, a definitive unlock method remains unconfirmed.
