Four years ago at the Game Awards, we were able to successfully launch the MK11 as a surprise.
A lot of people thought they’d repeat that trick in their next game, so it’s probably too big.
Thank you for your anticipation, but we are not yet ready to announce the next NRS game. pic.twitter.com/QMXsuEPchR
