Dataminer Finds Hara-Kiri Animations in Mortal Kombat 1, May Become Quitalities

A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting that the iconic fighting game could 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. For those unfamiliar, Hara-Kiri finishers, which debuted in Mortal Kombat: Deception back in 2004, allow the defeated player to perform a self-Fatality.

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

Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ suggested that these Hara-Kiri animations might be introduced as Quitalities, as they are referenced in the game's code. Quitalities are swift 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 remarked about the animations.

Following InfiniteNightZ's revelation, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko discovered additional Hara-Kiri animations.

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

It's important to keep in mind that these findings might not lead to any official changes, as neither NetherRealm nor publisher Warner Bros. Games has announced the addition of Quitalities to Mortal Kombat 1.

Mortal Kombat 1 has recently seen a surge in popularity with the addition of a secret fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's efforts to unlock him. Fans are also eagerly anticipating the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and potentially more DLC, though NetherRealm has not yet confirmed additional content.
