Publisher 2K and developer Visual Concepts have officially announced NBA 2K24. It will launch on September 8 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, and will also feature cross-play between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Kobe Brayant will be featured as the cover athlete on both the NBA 2k24 Kobe Bryant and Black Mamba editions. A new trailer was also released.
Visual Concepts president Greg Thomas commented on the announcement in a press release, saying:
“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 cross-play.”
