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, allowing defeated players to self-inflict a fatality, debuted in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004). Crucially, these animations were found 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, I think it's highly possible."

The dataminer further posited that these animations are labeled as "Quitalities" in the game's code—quick finishers triggered by player disconnections, a feature present in previous installments. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ commented.

Following InfiniteNightZ's discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko unearthed additional Hara-Kiri animations, confirming their existence within the game's data. However, neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially confirmed the inclusion of Quitalities in Mortal Kombat 1.

The recent addition of a secret fight featuring Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's collaborative efforts to uncover his unlock conditions, have kept Mortal Kombat 1 buzzing. The upcoming T-1000 guest character and the potential for further DLC add to the game's ongoing excitement, though official announcements remain pending.
