Dataminer Finds Hara-Kiri Animations in Mortal Kombat 1, Might Become Quitalities

A dataminer for Mortal Kombat 1 has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting the return of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, potentially reimagined as Quitalities. Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri animations, a feature first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception back in 2004. These animations depict a defeated player performing a self-Fatality.

"After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ commented.

The dataminer also noted that these animations are referred to as Quitalities within the game's code. Quitalities are quick finishers that activate when a player quits a multiplayer match, a feature seen in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ added.

Following InfiniteNightZ's discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko revealed 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 Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced the inclusion of Quitalities in Mortal Kombat 1.

Mortal Kombat 1 has recently seen increased interest with the addition of a secret fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's efforts to uncover his unlock conditions. Fans are also eagerly anticipating the arrival of the T-1000 guest character, with potential for more DLC on the horizon, though nothing has been confirmed by NetherRealm yet.
