MK1 Hara-Kiri Fatalities Discovered, May Join 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 animations that strongly resemble Hara-Kiri finishers. Hara-Kiri, introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allows defeated players to inflict a self-inflicted fatality. The video, linked below, features Hara-Kiri animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the theory of their inclusion. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

Interestingly, the game's code references these animations as "Quitalities," quick-fire finishers triggered by player quits in multiplayer matches, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. InfiniteNightZ noted, "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope."

Following InfiniteNightZ's discovery, prominent dataminer Interloko unearthed additional Hara-Kiri animations, confirming their existence within the game's files. Interloko's tweet (below) indicates only Omniman and Conan may lack these animations.

Here are another 2 missing from the video, so looks like only Omniman and Conan doesn't have one.

While this evidence is compelling, it's crucial to remember that NetherRealm Studios and Warner Bros. Games haven't officially announced Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

The game recently saw a surge in popularity with the addition of the secret Floyd character and ongoing community efforts to decipher his unlock conditions. Furthermore, fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though confirmation remains pending.
