Mortal Kombat 1 Files Reveal Hara-Kiri Fatalities

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, a self-inflicted fatality first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to end their own character's life with a spectacular move. The discovery is significant because these animations include recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, making their inclusion in a future update highly probable, according to InfiniteNightZ.

InfiniteNightZ's findings suggest these animations are internally referenced as "Quitalities," quick-fire finishers triggered when a player quits a multiplayer match. This naming convention aligns with previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ stated.

Further bolstering this theory, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko subsequently 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 bussy finishing some stuff of the demo of my own game https://t.co/TqBKyauY0G pic.twitter.com/hL4QzLRXwf

While this evidence is compelling, it's crucial to remember that NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games have yet to officially confirm Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

The game recently saw a surge in popularity with the addition of a secret Floyd (pink ninja) fight and the community's collaborative efforts to decipher his unlock requirements. Looking ahead, fans anticipate the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though no official announcements have been made.
