The 2023 season of NBA 2K honors the most famous number 23 in basketball history. Michael Jordan on the cover of the jacket and a new release date, we summarize the news for you today.
[Updated on July 06, 2022 at 12:58 p.m.] After the 75th anniversary of the NBA, it’s the G.O.A.T’s turn to be celebrated in NBA 2K23. The next iteration of the famous basketball game license honors one of if not the greatest legend in the history of sport through an edition bearing his name. Impossible to forget the famous number 23 for this new release straight from the studios of 2K Games, of which we could see a first trailer accompanied by the formalization of a release date at the start of the next school year. If the images and information on the game are still a little limited, we’ll take you through everything we already know about NBA 2K23.
The G.O.A.T is back. The NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition will honor the biggest star in basketball history, a tribute to the essential number 23, legend of the Chicago Bulls. While gameplay footage is sparse in this one-minute sequence, it’s not lacking in showmanship and manages to tickle the excitement of game fans despite the quality of previous NBA 2K iterations. Indeed, the memory of a glorious NBA 2K11 floats in the memory, the last game from 2K Games to have honored the legendary back of the Chicago Bulls. Moreover, the 10 Jordan challenges should be back in this edition since 2K Games has been announced to have updated and modernized them for the occasion. If pre-orders for the game start on July 7, we will have to wait a little longer to find out more about its content.
A trailer is good, but gameplay is better. Information on NBA 2K23 is very limited at this time, apart from the fact that we know that the game will not be exclusively reserved for next-gen consoles. Information that is still worth its weight in peanuts since it gives a lot of information on the technical features of this next part of the license. NBA 2K23 should therefore not be graphically or technically revolutionary, but rather a love letter to basketball and its legends. Keep in mind that pre-orders for the game are coming very soon and it would be strange for 2K to let its fans spend their money without knowing what they are buying. The first gameplay images should therefore arrive fairly quickly.
We told you a little above but there is information that we are currently sure about the content of NBA 2K23. The game will once again incorporate the Michael Jordan Challenges. These ten missions introduced in NBA 2K11 invite you to relive the most important moments of the career of the six-time NBA champion. We find his famous playoff game against the Celtics in 1986, the NBA Finals in 1991 or even his 69 points against the Cavaliers in 1990. 2K Games has confirmed that it wants to reintroduce these completely revisited challenges in NBA 2K23, and even offer new assignments. To be continued.
We told you just above, but we already know that we can pre-order NBA 2K23 from July 7th. An order that may have to be carried out blindly, as information on the game is currently limited. It is known that 2K23 will include a Michael Jordan Edition and a Championship Edition, although the latter is not expected to be released outside of the United States as it will contain one year of access to NBA TV broadcasts. As for the release date of NBA 2K23, the game will arrive in stores and on the web on September 9, directly on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
