MK Fatalities Dig UNEARTHED by Data Miner in First Game

A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered strong evidence suggesting the inclusion of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, rebranded as Quitalities, in a future update.

Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing what appear to be Hara-Kiri animations within the game's code. Hara-Kiri finishers, a self-inflicted fatality first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to end their own character's life in spectacular fashion. The video notably includes animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the theory of an upcoming addition rather than scrapped content. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

Further fueling speculation, InfiniteNightZ noted the animations are labeled "Quitalities" in the game's code, suggesting their activation upon a player quitting a multiplayer match, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," they added.

Independent verification came from prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko, who discovered additional Hara-Kiri animations following InfiniteNightZ's findings. Interloko's tweet indicated only Omniman and Conan lacked these animations.

While exciting, it remains unconfirmed. Neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

The recent addition of a secret fight featuring Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's collaborative efforts to decipher his unlock conditions, have kept the game vibrant. Looking ahead, players anticipate the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though no official confirmation exists from NetherRealm.
