Magic Jordan is the franchise's latest legendary cover star.
Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan will grace the covers of a number of NBA 2K23 editions including its Michael Jordan and Champion variants. The announcement marks Jordan’s fourth NBA 2K cover.
2K didn’t price the editions, nor detail what they included — that comes alongside the availability of its pre-orders on 7 July.
“After making 23 the most recognizable number in sports, it was only fitting that for NBA 2K23 we introduce the Michael Jordan Edition,” said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Global Marketing Strategy for NBA 2K.
“Additionally, we’re thrilled to introduce a brand new premium edition of the game with the NBA 2K23 Championship Edition, as no other player embodies the word ‘champion’ like Jordan,” Brody continued. “This limited-edition version will also offer players the opportunity to catch on-court action throughout the season with a 12-month subscription to NBA League Pass included. We look forward to celebrating this game with the community when it’s released on September 9.”
NBA 2K23 will also reintroduce its The Jordan Challenge, a mode that challenges players to recreate 15 iconic moments from Jordan’s career.
“All ten of the original Challenges from NBA 2K11 have been completely rebuilt from the ground up and will make their return this year – alongside five new iconic Jordan moments – for an entire new generation of players to experience,” 2K said. “These Challenges take advantage of more than a decade of technological leaps to provide a completely new way to play through Jordan’s accomplishments – all housed within its own game mode.”
NBA 2K23′s release date has yet to be announced. We can expect the title on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5.
