A recent discovery by a Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has sparked excitement among fans, suggesting that the iconic fighting game may soon introduce Hara-Kiri Fatalities in the form of Quitalities. Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri Fatalities, a feature first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception back in 2004, where the defeated player performs a self-Fatality.

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }The datamined content includes Hara-Kiri animations for recently released DLC characters like Ghostface, which lends credence to the theory that these features might be added to Mortal Kombat 1 in an upcoming update. "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ commented.

Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ noted that the animations are referred to as Quitalities within the game's code. Quitalities are quick finishers that activate when a player quits a multiplayer match, a feature seen in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ stated optimistically about the animations.

Adding to the excitement, high-profile Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko uncovered additional Hara-Kiri animations following InfiniteNightZ's initial findings.

Thanks @MatthewDim40523 for tag me
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 bussy finishing some stuff of the demo of my own game https://t.co/TqBKyauY0G pic.twitter.com/hL4QzLRXwf

While these discoveries are intriguing, it's important to remember that neither NetherRealm nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

The game has recently seen a surge in popularity with the addition of a secret fight featuring Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's efforts to unlock him. Fans also have the upcoming T-1000 guest character to anticipate, and possibly more DLC on the horizon, though NetherRealm has not yet confirmed any further additions.
