"Mortal Kombat 1: Hara-Kiri Fatalities Animations Found, May Become Quitalities"

A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered exciting evidence suggesting that the brutal fighting game may soon introduce Hara-Kiri Fatalities, potentially in the form of Quitalities.

Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1. First introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception in 2004, Hara-Kiri finishers allow the defeated player to perform a self-Fatality, resulting in their own demise.

"After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ stated.

Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ hinted that these Hara-Kiri animations might be introduced as Quitalities, as referenced in the game's code. Quitalities are rapid finishers triggered when a player quits a multiplayer match and have appeared in previous installments of the series. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ commented on the animations.

Another prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer, Interloko, discovered 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 busy finishing some stuff of the demo of my own game https://t.co/TqBKyauY0G pic.twitter.com/hL4QzLRXwf

While these findings are exciting, it's important to note that neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced the inclusion of Quitalities in Mortal Kombat 1.

Mortal Kombat 1 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 T-1000 guest character to anticipate, along with potential additional DLC, although NetherRealm has not yet confirmed these plans.
