Hidden Kombatant Debuts in 'Mortal Kombat 1' with Rock Legend Tribute

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! No, it's not a joke; he's a fully playable character.

Floyd is a clear nod to Pink Floyd, his introduction echoing the band's iconic Dark Side of the Moon album cover with its prism-like light dispersion. Interestingly, his moveset is a compilation of techniques borrowed from other ninjas, incorporating Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. Adding to the fun, Floyd boasts a quirky 1337 health points.

This secret character release 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 drawn from other ninjas.

Unlocking Floyd currently remains a mystery, with the community actively searching for the specific triggers. While Floyd offers clues to the required challenges, a definitive method remains unconfirmed.
