Rumor has it that Mortal Kombat 1 might get an intriguing update soon, bringing back a peculiar type of finishing move known as Quitalities. These moves initially appeared in Mortal Kombat X, triggering during online play when a player decides to leave the match prematurely. It seems that this distinctive feature may soon join Mortal Kombat 1’s already impressive array of finishing techniques.
Released in 2023, Mortal Kombat 1 serves as both a continuation and a fresh start for the series, introducing new stories and characters. Over time, the game has received numerous updates, expanding its iconic cast with well-known pop culture figures. Yet, it’s the finishing moves that remain a standout feature. These complex maneuvers, known for adding flair and a bit of humor to the battles, are expected to include Quitalities in an upcoming patch.
Recently, a Reddit user by the name InfiniteNightZ leaked a video that showcases what appears to be the reintroduction of Hara-Kiri Fatalities. Originating from 2004’s Mortal Kombat: Deception, these moves allow the defeated player to pick their own mode of demise, delivering a memorable conclusion to a match. The video features an extensive range of animations for every fighter in the game (minus Liu Kang and Conan the Barbarian), suggesting these could also debut in future updates as DLC content.
Another Mortal Kombat 1 leaker, Interloko, found even more Hara-Kiri animations, sharing them on Twitter. While there’s no official confirmation from Warner Bros. or NetherRealm Studios, the sheer volume of these animations, including those for upcoming DLC characters, strongly indicates they are gearing up for a release soon.
Quitalities exemplify Mortal Kombat’s whimsical approach to its violent universe, standing alongside other quirky finishers like Babalities and Friendships. Masters of combat can choose between turning enemies into baby versions of themselves or engaging in friendly non-violent encounters. With characters like Conan and Ghostface enhancing the series’ roster, players are offered a diverse selection of moves and combos to explore.
The possible addition of Quitalities and Hara-Kiris highlights Mortal Kombat’s ongoing evolution, ensuring that this legendary franchise remains as thrilling and unpredictable as ever. Whether you’re drawing on nostalgic characters or excited by the latest fighting systems, Mortal Kombat 1 continues to offer something unique for every fan.
