NBA 2K23 Brings New Attractions, But PC Gamers Want Next-gen
2K is preparing gamers for another season full of spectacular dunks. The developer has just confirmed the release date of NBA 2K23. Basketball fans are in for a real treat - the game's special edition with Michael Jordan on the cover.
The NBA-themed game series has fascinated the fans since 1999. This year's edition will be signed with the number "23", and, as we all probably know, it is strongly associated with none other than the legendary Michael Jordan, who performed with this number almost throughout his entire career. The developers decided to pay tribute to the most outstanding basketball player in history by creating a special edition of the game signed with his name..
General information
NBA 2K23 will debut on the market on September 9, this year; in turn, pre-orders will launch tomorrow, that is, on July 7. At that time, the Michael Jordan edition and the masters edition will be available for purchase on the game's website. The latest installment of the series will be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.. It is possible that just like last year the PC edition will be dedicated to last-gen platforms, but let's wait for official information before passing judgment. Many fans (for example on Reddit) of the series believe that it will be different.
Surprises for fans
Those who preorder the master edition will receive a year's access to League Pass - subscription, thanks to which they will be able to watch all the games of the next NBA league season. So far we do not know the price of this edition.
It is worth mentioning that NBA 2K23 will also see the return of the slightly improved Jordan Challenge mode, in which players will face 15 challenges related to the most important moments in the career of the six-time NBA champion. - ranging from his performances in college to national team matches.
More information about the upcoming game is expected to be announced soon. It is possible that a portion of them will see the light of day later today.
One "but"
I would not be myself if at the very end I did not add a fly to this ointment. Many basketball fans are excited about the special edition of their favorite game, but there are also voices of dissatisfaction with the fact that 2K, together with Visual Concepts, pay more attention to purely cosmetic changes than to significantly improve the actual gameplay.. It also remains to be believed that this year the monetization will be less controversial than in NBA 2K22.
Below, in turn, is the trailer for NBA 2K23 Michael Jordan Edition.
