NBA 2K24 Release Date
When is the NBA 2K24 release date? Since the NBA 2K23 release date back in early July, fans have been wondering which NBA player will grace the cover, waiting with bated breath to find out what new features and modes the next installment will bring. So, with the NBA 2K24 release date likely to be approaching, here's all the latest news and speculation.
Given that basketball season begins in earnest now, the NBA 2K series' annual release has traditionally taken place during the off-season, although the official release date for NBA 2K24 has not yet been announced. That said, if you look at previous NBA 2K games, there is a pattern to which months they have released in. This would suggest that we should expect the next NBA 2K game to come out in August, if not earlier. We've all but given up on the NBA 2K24 release date also being a weekend, but we're crossing our fingers.
NBA 2K24 Release Date Speculation
So when does NBA 2K24 come out? All we know right now is that it's coming - that much we can be sure of.
While there has been no hint of a release date yet, the NBA 2K24 cover athlete has already been revealed, as mentioned below. Not only that, but the developers have been teasing new features, such as the all-new Court Showcases that are coming with the next game in the series. With every single year giving fans a thrilling new experience, whether you enjoy playing casually or competing in the very highest of ranks, you're bound to find something to love.
NBA 2K24 Cover Athlete
We know that NBA 2K24 is slated to include a famous face on its cover, but who it is remains to be seen. It could be anyone - from a retired legend to a rising star. At the time of writing, no one knows - not even the NBA 2K devs.
A popular sentiment is that we will get a current NBA player on the game's cover. There hasn't been a retired player on a 2K cover since NBA 2K18, which featured Kobe Bryant, so it wouldn't be outside the realms of possibility.
NBA 2K24 Features
The NBA 2K24 features are sure to include some exciting upgrades, tweaks, and additions. From graphics improvements to gameplay changes, the gameplay trailer below showcases how much work has gone into making NBA 2K24 feel as convincing as real life. The players have been motion captured, the crowd and stadium are in 3D, and even the commentators have been lent their voices by some of the actual NBA commentators.
So what can we expect from the game? Updated rosters are a given - players will have moved on and teams will have changed. New game modes would be nice too as they add even more fun to a top-quality game. Thankfully, the customization options are likely to get even better, with new shoes and tattoos available to inject some extra style into your MyPLAYERs. There has been no official confirmation of online multiplayer modes just yet, but there certainly was room for them in NBA 2K23.
NBA 2K24 features we'd love to see include:
So there you have it, NBA 2K24 is inbound, and official announcements and teasers should start coming our way very soon.
