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

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.

His design is a clear nod to Pink Floyd, referencing the iconic Dark Side of the Moon album cover's prism effect. Interestingly, Floyd's 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, he boasts a quirky 1337 health points.

Long-time fans might experience a sense of déjà vu, recalling Reptile, the secret character from the original Mortal Kombat who similarly possessed a moveset drawn from other ninjas.

The community is currently unraveling the mystery of unlocking Floyd, as his appearance seems random despite hints dropped by the character himself regarding required challenges. A definitive unlocking method remains unconfirmed.
