Mortal Kombat 1 Dataminer Discovers Animations for Hara-Kiri Fatalities — and They Could Be Coming as Quitalities

A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered strong evidence suggesting the inclusion of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, rebranded as Quitalities, in a future update.

Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri animations within the game's files. Hara-Kiri finishers, initially seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to perform a self-inflicted fatality. The video, linked below, notably includes animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the theory of their eventual implementation. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

InfiniteNightZ further proposed that these animations will function as Quitalities, aligning with their designation within the game's code. Quitalities are rapid finishers triggered when a player forfeits a multiplayer match, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ commented.

Following InfiniteNightZ's discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko uncovered additional Hara-Kiri animations.

Thanks @MatthewDim40523 for tagging me
Here are another 2 missing from the video, so looks like only Omniman and Conan don't have one.

I didn't try to trigger it in the game because I'm busy finishing some stuff for the demo of my own game https://t.co/TqBKyauY0G pic.twitter.com/hL4QzLRXwf

While this evidence is compelling, it remains unconfirmed by NetherRealm or Warner Bros. Games.

The recent addition of a secret fight featuring Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's collaborative effort to decipher his unlock requirements, has reignited interest in Mortal Kombat 1. The upcoming T-1000 guest character and the potential for further DLC are also generating excitement, though official confirmation is pending.
