A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting that the iconic fighting game may soon feature Hara-Kiri Fatalities, possibly in the form of Quitalities. Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri Fatalities within Mortal Kombat 1. For those unfamiliar, Hara-Kiri finishers, first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception in 2004, allow the losing player to perform a self-Fatality.

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }The discovery of Hara-Kiri animations for newly released DLC characters like Ghostface suggests that these features might be included in an upcoming update for Mortal Kombat 1. InfiniteNightZ expressed optimism, stating, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."
Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ indicated that these Hara-Kiri animations might be implemented as Quitalities, a type of finisher that activates when a player exits a multiplayer match. This is based on how they are referenced in the game's code. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ noted.
Following InfiniteNightZ's revelation, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko discovered additional Hara-Kiri animations.

Here are another 2 missing from the video, so looks like only Omniman and Conan doesn't have one.I didn't try to trigger it in the game because I'm busy finishing some stuff of the demo of my own game https://t.co/TqBKyauY0G pic.twitter.com/hL4QzLRXwf

While this discovery has sparked excitement, it's important to note that neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced the addition of Quitalities to Mortal Kombat 1.
Mortal Kombat 1 has recently seen renewed interest with the addition of a secret fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's efforts to uncover his unlock conditions. Additionally, fans have the T-1000 guest character to anticipate, with more potential DLC on the horizon, though NetherRealm has not yet confirmed any further additions.
