A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting the addition of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, reimagined as Quitalities. Redditor InfiniteNightZ released a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri animations within the game's files. Hara-Kiri finishers, first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to inflict a self-inflicted fatality. Intriguingly, InfiniteNightZ discovered these animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, suggesting their inclusion in a future update rather than being scrapped. "After seeing they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ stated.
InfiniteNightZ theorizes these animations will be implemented as Quitalities, reflecting their designation in the game's code. Quitalities are rapid finishers triggered when a player quits a multiplayer match, a feature present 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 unearthed additional Hara-Kiri animations, further bolstering the speculation. While exciting, it's crucial to remember that neither NetherRealm nor Warner Bros. Games has officially confirmed Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.
Mortal Kombat 1 recently saw renewed interest with the unveiling of a secret fight featuring Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's collaborative efforts to decipher his unlock requirements. Fans eagerly anticipate the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though confirmation from NetherRealm remains pending.
