A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting that the iconic fighting game could soon introduce Hara-Kiri Fatalities, possibly in the form of Quitalities. Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1. First introduced in 2004's Mortal Kombat: Deception, Hara-Kiri finishers allow the defeated player to perform a self-Fatality.

.reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; }The discovery of Hara-Kiri animations for recently added DLC characters, such as Ghostface, lends weight to the theory that these will be integrated into Mortal Kombat 1 in a future update. "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ stated.
Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ hinted that these Hara-Kiri animations might be introduced as Quitalities, as referenced in the game's code. Quitalities are swift finishers that activate when a player exits a multiplayer match, a feature seen in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ added regarding the animations.
High-profile Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko also discovered additional Hara-Kiri animations following InfiniteNightZ's reveal.
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

While these findings are exciting, it's important to remember that neither NetherRealm nor Warner Bros. Games has officially 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 also have the T-1000 guest character to anticipate, with more potential DLC on the horizon, though nothing has been confirmed by NetherRealm yet.
