A dataminer for Mortal Kombat 1 has uncovered intriguing evidence suggesting the addition of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, potentially in the form of Quitalities. Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri Fatalities in the game. For those unfamiliar, Hara-Kiri finishers, introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception in 2004, allow the defeated player to perform a self-Fatality.

The discovery of Hara-Kiri animations for newly released DLC characters like Ghostface lends weight to the theory that these 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 commented.
Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ hinted that these Hara-Kiri animations might be introduced as Quitalities, which are rapid finishers activated when a player exits a multiplayer match prematurely. These have appeared in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ noted.
Another prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer, Interloko, discovered additional Hara-Kiri animations following InfiniteNightZ's revelation.
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

It's important to approach this news with caution, as neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced the inclusion of Quitalities in Mortal Kombat 1.
In other Mortal Kombat 1 news, the game has seen a revival of interest with the introduction of a hidden fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, sparking community efforts to decipher his unlock conditions. Fans also have the T-1000 guest character to anticipate, alongside potential future DLC, though NetherRealm has not yet confirmed these additions.
