Mortal Kombat achieved notoriety not only for its graphic violence and gore, however for its secrets and techniques. Collection co-creator Ed Boon has sneaked secret characters — nearly all the time palette-swapped ninjas — into the video games for greater than 30 years. Now, it seems that Boon and firm are hinting that one other new secret ninja is coming to Mortal Kombat 1: Floyd.
Sure, Floyd, as in Pink Floyd, as a result of in 2022, Boon responded to a fan on Twitter, “I actually need to make a PINK ninja and title him FLOYD” when requested if he ever wished to create a brand new ninja character for Mortal Kombat. (Boon is the man who created a purple ninja named Rain as a result of he favored Prince a lot, in spite of everything.)
Now, it seems that Floyd’s time has come. Gamers who’ve gotten early fingers on with Mortal Kombat 1’s latest DLC character, Conan the Barbarian, have been getting sturdy hints about Floyd’s debut, although simply how this pink ninja will in the end seem continues to be a thriller.
Floyd the ninja’s addition to Mortal Kombat lore seems to have been noticed first by combating sport YouTuber Tremendous. He seen that Floyd’s title (accompanied by an electrical guitar lick) would generally seem on display on the finish of fights whereas enjoying as Conan on the Residing Forest stage. That stage is famously the place secret characters like Jade and Smoke would pop up in Mortal Kombat 2, additional lending credence to Floyd’s standing as a brand new ninja kombatant.
But it surely’s unclear how MK1 gamers will battle (or play as) Floyd. Tremendous by no means truly encountered the supposed secret ninja throughout his playtime.
Mortal Kombat 1 already has sturdy ninja illustration. The sport’s important roster consists of the entire mainline male ninjas — Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Rain, Reptile, Smoke, Noob Saibot, and Ermac — and Kameo Fighter variations of Tremor, Khameleon, Frost, Cyrax, Sektor, basic Sub-Zero, and basic Scorpion.
