    Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Pre-Order Tips for Completing & Solving

    Earlier this year, retro game experts Digital Eclipse announced that their next major project is the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection. The initial announcement showed that the collection would include the original four Mortal Kombat games, along with their arcade and handheld versions. Since then, Digital Eclipse has also confirmed that Mortal Kombat Trilogy from 1996 will be part of the collection.

    A collection of this classic games wouldn’t feel complete without a physical version, and there’s good news — a physical release of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is planned for before the end of 2025. There will be three different editions to choose from. Details about each edition, including pre-order links, are provided below.

    Note: All editions, when pre-ordered, include a slipcase with your choice of characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile, or Smoke.

    Editions Breakdown

    For those only interested in the game’s physical release, the standard edition is their simplest option, available on all current-generation consoles and the original Nintendo Switch, starting at $49.99.

    The deluxe edition offers physical extras such as a SteelBook case and mini marquees. The price for this edition will be either $69.99 or $79.99, depending on your platform. However, it appears the Xbox Series X|S version of the deluxe edition won’t be available.

    The most premium choice is the Kollector’s Edition, sold through Limited Run Games. It includes exclusive items like a Goro statue that can hold a controller. Since it’s a limited release, pre-orders need to be placed before it’s no longer available on August 31. This edition does not have a confirmed release date, but the standard and deluxe versions are scheduled to launch on December 12, 2025.

    Why a Physical Version Matters

    This collection features the original four Mortal Kombat titles, along with their arcade and portable versions, giving fans the chance to experience the series from the beginning. Mortal Kombat Trilogy from 1996, which combines characters from the first three games, has also been added. It’s likely there could be more reveals about additional games included, so fans might get even more classic titles when the collection launches later this year.

    The physical copies will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. Digital versions will be accessible across the same platforms, including PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, on December 12, 2025.

    Mortal Kombat 2: First Look At Johnny Cage

    One of the most iconic figures in action video games is set to make his debut in Mortal Kombat 2.

    On X, the official Mortal Kombat account unveiled a movie poster featuring Karl Urban from The Boys as Johnny Cage. The caption proclaims, “It’s Johnny ******* Cage. Mortal Kombat II – coming soon only in theaters.

    Johnny Cage, whose real name is Jonathan Carlton, is depicted as a Hollywood action star who enters the Mortal Kombat tournament to validate his fighting abilities to his critics. To everyone’s surprise, he achieves remarkable success in the tournament, emerging as a formidable warrior and protector of the Earthrealm. The poster serves as a tribute to his cinematic career, showcasing Cage in his signature sunglasses and leather jacket. It also promotes Cage’s upcoming film, Uncaged Fury, heralded as “from the studio that brought you Rebel Without a Cage.

    Johnny Cage quickly captured the hearts of fans. He was famously portrayed by Linden Ashby in the 1995 movie Mortal Kombat. Matt Mullins also brought the character to life in the 2010 fan-made short film Mortal Kombat: Rebirth and reprised the role in the first season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy, with Casper Van Dien stepping in for season two.

    Although Johnny Cage was absent from the 2021 rendition of Mortal Kombat, a nod to his character appeared at the film’s conclusion when Cole Young (played by Lewis Tan) encounters a poster of Cage while searching for new fighters to aid in defending Earthrealm.

  • Uncovering the Secrets to Defeating Floyd in the Fight

    Uncovering the Secrets to Defeating Floyd in the Fight

    Mortal Kombat 1: Unveiling the Hidden Ninja Floyd

    Mortal Kombat 1 revives a nostalgic aspect of the franchise from its arcade roots by introducing a newly unveiled, color-swapped ninja named Floyd. This elusive character is so well hidden that players across the community are buzzing with excitement, sharing tips on how to encounter him. Defeating this pink ninja under specific conditions yields a fantastic reward.

    The name Floyd is an homage to the iconic band Pink Floyd, much like how the character Rain references the famous Prince song "Purple Rain." The inclusion of Floyd draws inspiration from the original three Mortal Kombat arcade versions, which featured hidden ninja encounters. Although most of these characters were merely alternate colors for Scorpion and Sub-Zero, they laid the groundwork for characters like Reptile and Ermac.

    Who Is Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1?

    Introducing Floyd: A New Challenger from Recent Updates

    Floyd made his debut following a patch that accompanied the addition of Conan the Barbarian as a downloadable fighter in Mortal Kombat 1. Initially, references to Floyd were subtle, with the name popping up sporadically during or at the end of matches. Players began to notice a pink logo with the name “Floyd,” sparking intrigue about the hidden fighter that the game hinted at.

    Data mining efforts later revealed that Floyd is a secret fighter introduced in the Conan patch, and players can only meet him by completing particular challenges. These challenges pertain to optional objectives during matches, which can range from specific tasks to more whimsical missions. Consequently, obtaining the "Floyd" messages has been challenging, as each player seems to have their own unique criteria.

    When you successfully trigger the "Floyd" message, it appears on the side of the screen where your character is positioned. Generally, this will be on the left side for Player 1, especially while participating in Invasions or the Towers of Time for Floyd-related challenges.

    Once you trigger the "Floyd" message enough times, you will be transported to a new stage to confront the pink ninja. This update introduces a breathtaking location known simply as "Field." This beautiful landscape was first glimpsed in the game’s initial trailer, during a scene where Liu Kang executed a Fatality on Shang Tsung.

    How to Trigger the Fight with Floyd

    To get to Floyd, players must engage in challenges unique to their account until he appears. Through fan discussions, it has become known that ten Floyd messages must be triggered to initiate the encounter with the pink ninja. Each player’s challenges are distinct, and according to a Reddit post by IfTheresANewWay, there are a total of 37 challenges that could be assigned.

    Some challenges will require you to pick specific characters, while others may mandate completing tasks in various modes. For instance, you might need to finish an objective in Story mode to receive your message. If the message doesn’t appear instantly, consider switching to Vs mode, as it may trigger the message at the match’s start.

    No player’s set of challenges is identical. You’ll realize you’ve completed all ten challenges when the screen fractures like glass, whisking you away to Floyd’s hidden arena.

    Tips for Beating Floyd in MK1

    Floyd’s speed is significantly faster than many other characters, compensating for the absence of a Kameo partner. During matches, Floyd tends to taunt players, which could provide you with a perfect opportunity to retaliate with a full combo. Watch for openings to chip away at Floyd’s health across multiple rounds until you achieve victory.

    If you lose against Floyd, you’ll have two additional attempts to challenge him. After three losses, you’ll need to complete the ten challenges once more to encounter Floyd again. Be aware that you cannot switch characters after losing, making it essential to develop a strategy for overcoming this secretive ninja and earning a unique prize.

    Rewards for Defeating Floyd

    When you successfully defeat Floyd, you can earn several exciting rewards, including:

    • Fires of Amaranth (Scorpion Kameo Legendary Palette)
    • Pink Ice (Sub-Zero Kameo Legendary Palette)
    • Fuchsia Flames (Scorpion Kameo Legendary Palette)
    • Fresh Powder (Sub-Zero Kameo Legendary Palette)
    • Floyd Kombat Kard Background
    • Floyd Kombat Kard Foreground
    • Rainbow Ninjas Kombat Kard Background
    • Pink Ninja Kombat Kard Foreground
    • Field – Sunset Stage

    Among these rewards, the Field stage stands out as the most coveted. By conquering Floyd, players gain the ability to fight on this stunning backdrop in both offline and online modes. Despite some optimization issues, this stage is a distinctive inclusion compared to those available in the base game.

    Investing time to discover Floyd is undoubtedly worthwhile, primarily for the stage itself. This nostalgic nod to the arcade days breathes new life into Mortal Kombat 1, so seek out Floyd and take on this hidden ninja while the opportunity for bragging rights still exists!

  • Finding Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1: Your Ultimate Guide

    Finding Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1: Your Ultimate Guide

    Even with its rocky start and an unclear future, Mortal Kombat 1 continues to introduce fantastic new characters that enhance both the roster and gameplay, with Conan the Barbarian being the latest addition. However, the much-anticipated Pink Ninja, Floyd, has been a constant topic of speculation with each character launch.

    After months of rumors and teases from Nether Real Studios, the mysterious Pink Ninja is finally available in the game. Players can encounter Floyd in Mortal Kombat with a chance to unlock an exclusive stage called The Field. The process to unlock this encounter is not straightforward, though!

    How to Encounter Floyd

    Before gaining access to The Field stage in Mortal Kombat 1, you’ll need to first meet the elusive Pink Ninja, Floyd. This task is more complicated than it appears. To initiate a fight with Floyd, you must complete a number of Floyd Challenges, which vary in difficulty from simple to quite tough.

    The twist? You can’t keep track of these Floyd Challenges and won’t see all of them at once. This means you won’t know which challenges you can attempt until you finish them, at which point you’ll receive a notification confirming the Floyd Challenge you completed.

    How to Know If You’ve Completed a Floyd Challenge

    When you finish a Floyd Challenge, a small pink icon will appear on the left side of your screen with the word ‘Floyd,’ accompanied by a guitar riff in the background. Some challenges might require you to complete the match before showing this icon, while others will pop up as soon as you finish the challenge.

    If you attempt a challenge and follow all the steps but don’t see the Pink Icon, then the Floyd Challenge wasn’t active for you, and it’s time to move on to another one. There are numerous Floyd Challenges, so try another, hope for the best, and keep going!

    What Are the Floyd Challenges?

    Currently, there are 37 Floyd Challenges identified and tested by the Mortal Kombat 1 community through in-game hints and data mining. While playing in Tower modes, Floyd may make an appearance, dropping hints about specific challenges.

    While 37 Floyd Challenges may seem overwhelming, you don’t need to complete them all; Floyd usually shows up after finishing around ten of them. You’ll have to experiment and discover which ones you have access to, as this process requires some time and effort. Luckily, you can find all 37 challenges listed in the table below!

    You can complete most of the Floyd Challenges in Local Versus Mode against very easy CPUs to make it easier for yourself. Additionally, after you receive a notification for completing one challenge, check back on the previous ones as they may now be active. This will be a lengthy but rewarding mission!

    How to Unlock The Field Stage

    Now that you understand what the Floyd Challenges entail and how to complete them, you’re one step closer to unlocking the secret The Field stage. Before you can proceed, you must finish several challenges until Floyd appears, prompting a battle.

    Once this random encounter occurs, the screen will shatter, giving you three attempts to defeat Floyd. So make sure to make each attempt count! Your manual choice of character during the challenge will decide the first fight against Floyd, although you can switch characters, but it will cost you one of your three chances.

    What Happens If You Lose to Floyd?

    As mentioned earlier, you have three opportunities to conquer Floyd when he shows up, giving you a chance to learn his fighting style, which incorporates moves from various other Ninjas from the series. However, if you lose all three matches, it will be a significant setback.

    Failing to beat Floyd in all three rounds will reset your progress on Floyd Challenges, forcing you to restart the trial-and-error process until he appears again, which will be quite time-consuming. So, if you find yourself pitted against Floyd with an unfamiliar character, it’s wise to use one attempt to switch to a character you’re comfortable with to avoid repeating the entire process.

    Unlocking The Field Stage

    You might have guessed already: you unlock The Field stage after defeating Floyd. Be sure to give it your all during that encounter if you want to claim victory on your first attempt. Floyd can be a bit tough, so don’t underestimate him, or you might have to go through the whole process again.

    Once you defeat Floyd, The Field will be available as a permanent stage for you to select in your future matches, and it’s well worth the effort as it is absolutely stunning. While Floyd will not be a playable character, it’s likely this won’t be the last time you encounter him!
