4 years ago at the Game Awards we tried to make a surprise announcement about the MK11, which was amazing.
Probably too cool, since many people assume we’ll repeat that trick for our next game.
Thank you for your anticipation, but we are not ready to announce the next NRS game yet.🙏 pic.twitter.com/QMXsuEPchR
