Secret Kombatant: Rock Icon Unleashed in Mortal Kombat 1

This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update delivered a surprise: the addition of Conan the Barbarian, and a completely unannounced, unexpected character – Floyd, a pink-clad ninja! This isn't a glitch; Floyd is a legitimate, albeit secret, fighter.

The character is a clear homage to Pink Floyd, referencing the iconic Dark Side of the Moon album cover with its prism-like light dispersion. 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, Floyd boasts a quirky 1337 health points.

Long-time Mortal Kombat fans might experience a sense of déjà vu, recalling Reptile, the similarly obscure and challenging secret character from the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Floyd, Reptile's moves were a compilation of other ninja fighters.

Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, with the community actively searching for the specific triggers. While Floyd offers clues to the required challenges, a definitive method remains elusive.
