Update on Mortal Kombat 1: Conan the Barbarian and Rumored Character Floyd
- The iconic Conan the Barbarian will debut in Mortal Kombat 1 on January 21.
- An intriguing Easter egg featuring the name ‘Floyd’ appears during Conan’s gameplay, accompanied by a recognizable guitar riff.
- This Easter egg has sparked speculation about a hidden boss battle with Floyd, connected to comments from Ed Boon, co-creator of Mortal Kombat.
Mortal Kombat 1 enthusiasts are abuzz with the possibility of a secret character arriving in the latest DLC, a notion that has been subtly hinted at by series co-creator Ed Boon for some time. Set to join the battle on January 21, the legendary warrior Conan the Barbarian will be the newest addition to Kombat Pack 2, alongside the notorious Ghostface from the Scream series and the anticipated T-1000 from Terminator 2.
Last week, a new trailer showcased Conan’s gameplay, granting players a sneak peek at his combat moves, pre-fight character dialogues, and violent Fatality finishers. True to form, Conan is brought to life authentically, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger’s likeness and voice, with Chris Cox portraying him, just as he did with the Terminator in Mortal Kombat 11.
Could Floyd Be the Hidden Character in Mortal Kombat 1?

More details about the secret Floyd Fight: The Floyd Easter egg triggers randomly at any stage. Once the icon pops up it plays a Guitar Riff (Pink Floyd reference?). I believe you have to do a certain action / challenge at that time.#MK1 #MortalKombat1 pic.twitter.com/bFGzCcbWp3 — thethiny ðŸ\u0090°ðŸ\u008d‰ (@thethiny) January 18, 2025
Fighter Super has reported their mysterious experience while playing as Conan ahead of the character’s official release. During a mirror match, they observed the sudden appearance of the name “Floyd”along with a distinctive guitar riff during Conan’s victory animation, although Super noted they could not determine how to recreate this event.
Similarly, the Twitter user thetiny echoed this experience, suggesting that specific in-game actions may trigger the Floyd pop-up. Fans have started forming theories based on a statement from Ed Boon, who once expressed a desire to introduce a pink-clad ninja named Floyd into the Mortal Kombat universe. Adding to the excitement, recent discoveries in the Mortal Kombat 1 source code reportedly contain references to Floyd, further fueling speculation regarding this potential character’s introduction.
The mention of Floyd, along with the potential pink attire, seems to nod to the influential band Pink Floyd, reminiscent of how the character Rain pays homage to Prince’s iconic song “Purple Rain.”Whether Floyd will make a triumphant entry into Mortal Kombat 1 as a hidden boss remains to be seen. Until then, players can look forward to Conan the Barbarian’s arrival on January 21, ready to battle and conquer.
