A recent discovery by a Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer suggests that the iconic fighting game might soon introduce Hara-Kiri Fatalities in the form of 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, where the defeated player performs a self-inflicted Fatality.

"After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ commented.
Moreover, InfiniteNightZ pointed out that these animations are labeled as Quitalities within the game's code. Quitalities are instant finishers that occur when a player quits a multiplayer match, a feature seen in earlier Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ added optimistically.
Following InfiniteNightZ's findings, another well-known dataminer, Interloko, uncovered additional Hara-Kiri animations, further supporting the possibility of their inclusion.

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

It's important to note, however, that neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced the addition of Quitalities to Mortal Kombat 1. While this could be an exciting development for fans, it remains speculative until confirmed by the developers.
Mortal Kombat 1 has recently seen a surge in interest with the addition of a secret fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's efforts to unlock him. Additionally, fans can look forward to the T-1000 guest character and possibly more DLC in the future, although no official announcements have been made yet.
