"Hara-Kiri Fatalities Uncovered in Mortal Kombat 1 Data"

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, a self-inflicted fatality first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to end their own lives spectacularly. The video, titled "Hara-Kiri & Exit Animations (- Liu Kang / Conan)," notably includes animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the likelihood of their implementation. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

Further supporting this theory, InfiniteNightZ noted that the animations are labeled as "Quitalities" in the game's code. Quitalities, quick finishers triggered by player quits in multiplayer matches, are a familiar feature in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ commented.

Independent verification came from prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko, who discovered additional Hara-Kiri animations after InfiniteNightZ's findings. Interloko's tweet confirmed the existence of more animations, indicating only Omniman and Conan might be missing them.

While this evidence is compelling, official confirmation from NetherRealm or Warner Bros. Games is still pending. The potential addition of Quitalities comes amidst recent excitement surrounding Mortal Kombat 1, including the discovery of a secret fight with Floyd, the pink ninja, and anticipation for the upcoming T-1000 guest character and potential future DLC.
