While it was thought that 2K Games would take its time after indicating that the announcement of NBA 2K23 would happen soon, the publisher decided not to drag things out after all. Indeed, he kindly sent us an official press release in which he announced that the game will be available from September 9 on consoles and PC, and that pre-orders will open their doors in two short days (July 7). But what purists will remember above all is the presence of the incomparable Michael Jordan on the cover of the edition dedicated to his glory, plus the Championship Edition. Obviously, the choice of His Airness is anything but a coincidence, 23 being his favorite number.
Of course, the guy will be entitled to the "Jordan Challenge" mode "tailored to his measure" to encourage players to reproduce 15 iconic moments from Jordan's illustrious career. The ten original Challenges of NBA 2K11 have been completely recreated from scratch and will return this year – along with five new iconic Jordan moments – for a whole new generation of young people to experience." We can really speak of a tribute to the legend of basketball since in addition to retracing his career, these 15 challenges will also be an opportunity to watch testimonials from people who had the privilege of working closely with him, including teammates, opponents and other sports personalities. We are promised that more information on the "Jordan Challenge" mode will be communicated during the summer.
Finally, described as an “ultra-premium version”, the NBA 2K23 Championship Edition will contain a 12-month subscription to the NBA League Pass, which will allow you to follow NBA games live. Clean.
