MK Fatalities Get Darker in Data Discovery

A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered strong evidence suggesting the addition of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, rebranded as Quitalities, to the game.

Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri animations within Mortal Kombat 1's code. Hara-Kiri finishers, initially seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to perform a self-inflicted fatality. The video, linked below, notably includes animations for recently released DLC characters like Ghostface, hinting at their inclusion in a future update. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

InfiniteNightZ theorizes these animations will be implemented as Quitalities, a type of quick finisher triggered by player disconnections in multiplayer matches, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. The dataminer noted, "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope."

Further supporting this discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko unearthed 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 this evidence is compelling, it's crucial to remember that neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games have officially confirmed Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

The game recently saw a surge in popularity with the introduction of a secret fight featuring Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's efforts to decipher his unlock conditions. Looking ahead, players anticipate the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though this remains unconfirmed.
