NetherRealm Studios announcement teased for The Game Awards 2021

But, since this wasn't the case, fans are still curious what the studio is working on right now.

If you believe the Nvidia GeForce Now leaks, NetherRealm has its hands full working on both Injustice 3 and Mortal Kombat 12, both of which are slated to release sometime in 2023.

With that said, eager fans just spotted something peculiar about what NetherRealm Studios Senior Production Manager Jonathan Andersen said in an earlier tweet. He claims that he was just "looking respectfully" in his reply to 2-time EVO finalist, HoneyBee, but fans believe that it was a tease of what's to come.

Keep in mind that The Game Awards 2021 is set to kick off on December 9. In addition to crowning the year's best games, the awards show will feature several video game trailers and announcements. It wouldn't be far-fetched for NetherRealm Studios to join the long list of reveals on December 9, which reportedly already includes The Matrix Awakens for the PS5 and The Last Night, among others.

Of course, it's best to take everything that you just read with a grain of salt. NetherRealm hasn't confirmed anything yet, so the studio might not show up at The Game Awards 2021. If it does, there's no guarantee it's going to announce a new Injustice or Mortal Kombat game either.

For now, all we can do is to recommend that you follow The Game Awards 2021 closely on December 9.
