This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprise addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But the truly unexpected newcomer is a pink-clad ninja named Floyd – a secret, playable character.

This isn't a glitch; Floyd is a fully realized fighter, a clear nod to the iconic rock band Pink Floyd. His introduction mirrors the band's Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing the prism-like dispersion of light. Interestingly, many of Floyd's moves are borrowed from other ninjas in the game, incorporating Sub-Zero's freezing abilities and Scorpion's spear techniques. He even boasts a quirky 1337 health points.

Long-time Mortal Kombat fans might experience a sense of déjà vu. This secret character mechanic echoes the original Mortal Kombat's hidden Reptile, a similarly challenging fighter whose moveset was a blend of other ninja characters.

Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, though he offers clues regarding the necessary in-game challenges. The community is actively working to decipher the exact requirements for this unexpected encounter. A definitive method remains unconfirmed.
