Hara-Kiri Fatalities Animations Found in Mortal Kombat 1, May Become Quitalities

Author : Camila Update : Apr 28,2025

A dataminer for Mortal Kombat 1 has uncovered what appears to be strong evidence suggesting the introduction of Hara-Kiri Fatalities in the form of Quitalities. Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing these potential Hara-Kiri Fatalities, a feature first introduced in Mortal Kombat: Deception in 2004, where the defeated player executes a self-Fatality.

"After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible," InfiniteNightZ stated.

Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ hinted that these Hara-Kiri animations might be introduced as Quitalities, as they are referenced in the game's code. Quitalities are quick finishers triggered when a player exits a multiplayer match prematurely, a feature seen in previous titles of the series. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," InfiniteNightZ noted about the animations.

Another prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer, Interloko, confirmed the discovery of additional Hara-Kiri animations following InfiniteNightZ's initial findings.

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

It's important to keep in mind, however, that these findings do not guarantee the feature's inclusion, as neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially announced Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.

Mortal Kombat 1 has recently seen a surge in popularity with the addition of a secret fight against Floyd, the pink ninja, and the community's collaborative efforts to uncover the unlock conditions. Fans are also eagerly anticipating the arrival of the T-1000 guest character and potentially more DLC, though NetherRealm has not yet confirmed any further additions.
