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 may soon introduce Hara-Kiri Fatalities 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, a Hara-Kiri finisher, which debuted in Mortal Kombat: Deception in 2004, involves the defeated player executing a self-inflicted Fatality.

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }The discovery of Hara-Kiri animations for recently released DLC characters like Ghostface lends strong support to the speculation that these animations could be added to Mortal Kombat 1 in an upcoming update. "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ remarked.

Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ hinted that these Hara-Kiri animations might be implemented as Quitalities, as they are referenced in the game's code. Quitalities are swift finishers that activate when a player exits a multiplayer match prematurely, a feature seen in previous entries of the series. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ stated regarding the animations.

Following InfiniteNightZ's revelation, renowned 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 bussy 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 nor publisher Warner Bros. Games has officially announced the inclusion of Quitalities in Mortal Kombat 1.

The game has recently seen a resurgence with the addition of a secret fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's efforts to uncover his unlock conditions. Additionally, fans have the T-1000 guest character to anticipate, along with the potential for more DLC, though NetherRealm has yet to confirm any further additions.
