What does this most look like to you? A legitimate slip up, a poorly covered fake hint at MK12, a more clever hint at a new Injustice game, or something else entirely? Let us know in the comments below. Perhaps this photo post is something of a misdirection to get fans buzzing about a potential new Mortal Kombat so that an Injustice reveal lands with a bit more surprise, but it's difficult to be confident about any of NRS' current intentions at this point. NetherRealm has followed a pattern of alternating Mortal Kombat and Injustice releases over the last decade, and we'd need a third Injustice before an MK12 to keep that pattern going. There's also an image of Wonder Woman concept art, a character who has been in both of NRS' Injustice titles, in the photo. A new leak teases a release date and story details for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 12, but fans are doubting its validity.Players have been speculating on what NetherRealm Studios’ next project could be since it announced that it was ending support for Mortal Kombat 11 last summer, with guesses ranging from a third Injustice title to a brand-new Marvel fighting game. We've yet to see Boon go for something as bold as this seemingly is, but if any major development company were going to try for something like this, NRS would be many community members' first pick to do so. What's more, the company's Chief Creative Officer and Mortal Kombat co-creator, Ed Boon, is known for teasing fans on social media.
That said, the company is obviously hyper aware of leak potential in 2022 (look no further than the notice in the photo) and the thought of a Senior Production Manager making such a cavalier error does come across as a hard pill to swallow. Like other major developers around them, NetherRealm Studios has been fighting the fight to keep major information under wraps until they're ready to share, and have often lost that fight thanks to data miners. Click the thumbnail below to see the larger version of the photo in question from Andersen's now-deleted post: Said post was rapidly taken down a few minutes after being posted, but eager fans scraping the internet for traces of potentially juicy NRS news snapped photos.
Of what we can see from the note, it reads "do not share any part of this video," and "our fans eagerly scrape the internet for any trace." One of Andersen's monitors includes a file name that reads 'MK12_Mast.' On the other we see parts of a confidentiality notice about a video that is clearly supposed to be kept away from public eyes at this point in time.
