A Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer has uncovered strong evidence suggesting the addition of Hara-Kiri Fatalities, rebranded as Quitalities, in a future update.
Redditor InfiniteNightZ shared a video showcasing animations that strongly resemble Hara-Kiri finishers. These self-inflicted fatalities, initially featured in Mortal Kombat: Deception (2004), allow defeated players to end their own lives spectacularly. The video, linked below, highlights the presence of these animations for recently added DLC characters like Ghostface, bolstering the theory of their inclusion. InfiniteNightZ stated, "After seeing that they're adding it to the downloaded roster now, I think it's highly possible."

Interestingly, 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. InfiniteNightZ noted, "They are listed as Quitalities, there's still hope."
Further supporting this discovery, prominent Mortal Kombat 1 dataminer Interloko subsequently unearthed additional Hara-Kiri animations.
Thanks @MatthewDim40523 for tagging me
Here are another 2 missing from the video, so looks like only Omniman and Conan don't have one.I didn't try to trigger it in the game because I'm busy finishing some stuff for the demo of my own game [link to game demo] pic.twitter.com/hL4QzLRXwf

While this evidence is compelling, NetherRealm and Warner Bros. Games haven't officially confirmed Quitalities for Mortal Kombat 1.
The game recently saw a surge in popularity with the addition of the secret Floyd character and the community's collaborative efforts to decipher his unlock conditions. Players eagerly anticipate the upcoming T-1000 guest character and the possibility of further DLC, though no official announcements have been made.
