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 files. Hara-Kiri finishers, first seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception, allow defeated players to perform a self-inflicted fatality. The video, linked below, notably includes animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the theory of their eventual implementation. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

Furthermore, InfiniteNightZ noted that the game's code references these animations as "Quitalities," quick-fire finishers triggered by player quits in multiplayer matches, a feature present in previous Mortal Kombat titles. "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope," they added.
This discovery was corroborated by prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko, who subsequently unearthed additional Hara-Kiri animations. Interloko's tweet, included below, indicates that only Omniman and Conan may be lacking these animations.
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 [link to Interloko's game] pic.twitter.com/hL4QzLRXwf

While this evidence is compelling, it's crucial to remember that neither NetherRealm Studios nor Warner Bros. Games has officially confirmed Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.
The recent addition of a secret Floyd fight and the ongoing community effort to decipher his unlock conditions highlight the game's continued engagement. With the upcoming T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, the future of Mortal Kombat 1 remains exciting, though unconfirmed.
