Game publisher 2K has announced that the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan will return as the cover athlete for NBA 2K24, the sequel to NBA 2K23.
According to 2K, 18-time All-Star, five-time NBA Champion, two-time Finals MVP, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, the all-time leading scorer for the Los Angeles Lakers, and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer, Kobe Bryant will be featured as the NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition and Black Mamba Edition cover athlete.
NBA 2K24 is slated for release worldwide on September 8, 2023, on all platforms and feature crossplay compatibility for PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Xbox Series X|S.
Greg Thomas, President at Visual Concepts, said:
As we celebrate 25 years of NBA 2K with Kobe Bryant, we commemorate his legacy and the generational impact he has had on the game of basketball. While we mark the history of the franchise, NBA 2K24 also looks ahead to the future to bring an innovative leap in technology and the introduction of community-requested features like crossplay.
To commemorate Kobe's return to the NBA 2K cover, the brand-new Mamba Moments mode will allow players to channel their inner Mamba. Recreate some of Kobe's most mesmerizing performances and follow his trajectory from a young prodigy to one of the greatest players of all time.
Moreover, NBA 2K24 will introduce ProPLAY, a revolutionary new technology that translates NBA footage directly into NBA 2K24 gameplay. On PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, ProPLAY delivers animations and movements based on on-court NBA action for a generational leap in realism. Later this summer, additional information on Mamba Moments and ProPLAY will be released.
