NBA 2K23 release date announced as September 9
The career of Michael Jordan, who turned the NBA into a global phenomenon, made him a household name in the world and made a big impact on the basketball world. As the 24th anniversary of NBA 2K prepares with the theme ‘Answer the Call’, Jordan stands out as a symbol of this theme. Making the most of the opportunities he has had throughout his career, Jordan is spinning around the cover of two versions of NBA 2K23, meeting fans both old and new.
Alfie Brody, NBA Vice President of Global Marketing Strategy for 2K, said, “We had to offer the Michael Jordan Edition for NBA 2K23 after Jordan made 23 the most recognizable number in sports. In addition, no player fills the phrase ‘champion’ in the 2K23 Championship Edition, the new premium version that we are excited to introduce, as much as Jordan. This version, which will be sold in a limited edition, will also offer the chance to watch players on the court with a 12-month NBA League Pass* membership. We are looking forward to the release date of September 9 to celebrate the play together with the community.”
In NBA 2K23, where Michael Jordan graced the cover, players will be able to recreate 15 iconic moments in the legendary player’s career. Ten original challenges from NBA 2K11 have been built from the ground up, while five new iconic Jordan moments have been added for a new generation of players to experience. Leveraging more than a decade of technological advances, these ‘challenges’ open up a new way to relive Jordan’s achievements.
The Jordan Challange also gives you the chance to experience the legendary player’s 15 different experiences in college, the NBA and the U.S. National Basketball Team career, with exclusive commentary and videos from Jordan’s teammates, rivals, and leading names in the sport.
