↖ Release Date and Cover Athlete

Historically, 2K games have been released in the first full week of September on a Friday. While NBA 2K24 is expected to release on September 8th based on previous patterns, an official confirmation is still pending. Speculation suggests that Kobe Bryant might be the cover athlete for the Legend Edition, following the alignment of previous cover athletes like Michael Jordan for NBA 2K23.

 

↖ Pre-Order and Gameplay Predictions

According to a YouTube video by NBA 2K, fans can start pre-ordering NBA 2K24 soon. It's recommended to keep an eye on NBA 2K Twitter account for the latest news and updates. The video also speculates a conspiracy to make the builds related to the cover athlete overpowered, with a focus on Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan builds that reflect their unique playstyles and skills.

 

 

↖ Cover Art Contest and Kobe Bryant Challenge Mode

The video proposes that 2K should host a cover art contest, allowing artists within the community to showcase their talent.

Some fans on Twitter suggest that August 24th (8/24) would be a fitting date for a Prelude release, but the video speculates that 2K might not release a Prelude this time. The possibility of technical issues in the earlier build may be a reason behind this decision. Excitingly, NBA 2K24 will have crossplay, allowing players on different platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, to play together.
