Mortal Kombat 1 Adds A Secret Fight Against Pink Floyd

Conan The Barbarian joined the Mortal Kombat 1 roster earlier this week, but it seems he's not the only new fighter players should keep an eye out for. NetherRealm Studios has snuck a secret fight into the game against a pink ninja named Floyd--a direct reference to the iconic 1970s rock band Pink Floyd.

Teases for the rose-tinted ruffian began to appear in the Living Forest stage, with some players like YouTube creator Super reporting seeing the name Floyd in pink font after winning a match there. With Conan now released, players are now encountering Floyd on a brand-new empty-field stage.

Another YouTube creator named Dynasty has since released a video indicating that Floyd will randomly appear before matches to give a clue as to how to trigger his fight, with 37 different clues possible as found by dataminers highlighted in the video. Some of the clues are as follows:

• "No Luna"

• "Keep Kalm & Finish"

• "Hat Trick"

• "Sans Jade"

• "This Is Where You Fall Down"

This is not the first time the Mortal Kombat franchise featured hidden fights; the original game allowed players to encounter the green ninja Reptile, while MKII also used a Living Forest stage to tease its hidden characters. Floyd, meanwhile, is the second musically themed character to appear in the Mortal Kombat series, as the purple ninja named Rain--a reference to Prince's famous song Purple Rain--debuted in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

Mortal Kombat 1 is available now on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC. The Khaos Reigns expansion--which is needed to access Conan The Barbarian, Ghostface, and the rest of Kombat Pass 2--is also available for each platform.
