While Mortal Kombat 1 has one more DLC character on the way (Terminator 2’s T-1000), there may be another addition to the ninja line-up at some point. Players have recently spotted in-game references to a character named Floyd, as seen in the video below by YouTuber Super.

Who is Floyd? In 2022, director Ed Boon said he wanted to create a new pink ninja named Floyd, doubtless a reference to the band Pink Floyd. He’s since referenced the band in a new tweet containing the lyrics to “Comfortably Numb” (noting it to be the “ninja oath”).

While these recent discoveries could be part of an elaborate Easter egg, a Reddit user discovered assets for Floyd via Mortal Kombat Warehouse. There are pink skins for Sub-Zero and Scorpion, a close-up shot, banners, and more. Before you think he could be a playable character, Floyd may be little more than a secret fight like Reptile from the first Mortal Kombat.

Of course, with how the latter turned out, Floyd could be a permanent addition in future titles. Time will tell, so stay tuned.
