Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities Leak Hints at Brutal 'Hara-Kiri' Finishers

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 perform a self-inflicted fatality. The video, linked below, features these animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the theory of their inclusion. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

InfiniteNightZ further speculates that these animations will be implemented as Quitalities, based on their designation within the game's code. Quitalities are instant finishers triggered by player disconnections in multiplayer matches, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ commented.

Following this discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko unearthed additional Hara-Kiri animations.

Thanks @MatthewDim40523 for tagging me. Here are another 2 missing from the video, so looks like only Omniman and Conan don'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.

Mortal Kombat 1 recently saw renewed interest with the addition of a secret Floyd (pink ninja) fight and community efforts to decipher his unlock requirements. Fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though confirmation from NetherRealm remains pending.
