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 addition 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, introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception, 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 inclusion in a future update. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

Interestingly, the animations are referenced in the game's code as "Quitalities," quick-fire finishers triggered by player quits in multiplayer matches, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. InfiniteNightZ commented, "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope."

Following InfiniteNightZ's discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko unearthed additional Hara-Kiri animations. A tweet from Interloko confirms this, indicating only Omniman and Conan may lack these animations.

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

While this evidence is compelling, it's crucial to remember that neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

The game recently saw a surge in popularity with the addition of a secret Floyd fight and the community's collaborative efforts to decipher his unlock conditions. Fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though confirmation remains pending from NetherRealm.
