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

by Peyton Feb 18,2025

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, this isn't a joke; he's a fully playable character.

Floyd is a clear nod to Pink Floyd, his introduction mirroring the band's Dark Side of the Moon album cover with its light dispersion effect. Interestingly, his moveset is a blend of other ninjas' techniques, incorporating Sub-Zero's freeze and Scorpion's spear attacks. Adding to the fun, Floyd boasts a quirky 1337 health points.

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 borrowed moves from other ninjas.

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