Ed Boon recently took to Twitter to offer a Q&A of sorts, and while doing he so happened to drop some pretty telling responses regarding the next game from NetherRealm Studios. Multiple fans asked for a timeline of just when this game will be announced or released, and each time Ed Boon “inadvertently” added in a suspicious “23” somewhere within the tweet. This happened multiple times as you can see below.
I really shouldn't 23-answer that.

Additionally, an announcement for NetherRealm Studios’ next game is apparently likely in the next six months, according to the same Twitter thread. The next game from the profound developers of Mortal Kombat and Injustice is going to either be Mortal Kombat 12 or Injustice 3.
As for which of these is more likely, we think Mortal Kombat 12 is likely to release first. Ed Boon stated he cannot reveal the order in which these games will be created, however, looking over the questions he answered he seems to be hinting at MK. For most questions concerning Injustice 3, Boon stated he “hopes” NetherRealm is able to make it. Mortal Kombat related questions all received firm responses, with him even telling fans to “Stay tuned” to see if certain characters will be returning in Mortal Kombat 12. Last year, it was reported that Ed Boon and the team at NetherRealm were prioritizing MK12 over Injustice due to questions regarding the Warner Bros. merger.
Mortal Kombat 11 was originally released in April 2019 across all major platforms. The game received the largest amount of DLC support that NetherRealm has ever provided, with two character passes and a story expansion. Characters such as The Joker, Terminator, Spawn, Rambo, and even Robocop joined the battle.
