Exciting news for Mortal Kombat 1 fans: a dataminer known as InfiniteNightZ has unearthed what appears to be solid evidence that the game may soon feature Hara-Kiri Fatalities in the form of Quitalities. A video shared by the Redditor showcases what seem to be Hara-Kiri animations, a brutal finisher first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception back in 2004, where the defeated player executes a self-Fatality.

What makes this discovery particularly intriguing is the inclusion of Hara-Kiri animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface. This suggests that NetherRealm Studios might be planning to introduce these animations in an upcoming update. "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ commented, adding weight to the speculation.
Furthermore, the dataminer noted that the animations are referred to as Quitalities within the game's code. Quitalities are quick finishers that activate when a player quits a multiplayer match prematurely, a feature seen in earlier Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ said optimistically about the animations.
Following InfiniteNightZ's discovery, another respected Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer, Interloko, uncovered additional Hara-Kiri animations, further fueling the excitement. Interloko shared on social media, "Thanks @MatthewDim40523 for tagging 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."

It's important to remember that this is all based on datamined information, and neither NetherRealm Studios nor publisher Warner Bros. Games has officially confirmed the addition of Quitalities to Mortal Kombat 1.
In other Mortal Kombat 1 news, the game has seen a resurgence with the introduction of a secret fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, sparking a community effort to uncover the unlock conditions. Fans also have the T-1000 guest character to look forward to, with potential additional DLC on the horizon, though NetherRealm has yet to confirm any further content.
