#NBA 2K22 COVER ATHLETE SERIES#

The game drops September 10, 2021, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This year’s style is in a broad-strokes watercolour style, eschewing the action photo look of previous games. Here’s the local box art for the standard edition below. 2K Sports, it seems, doesn’t believe in that and said “Bugger it, we’ll put em in.” Pre-order starting 7/7 /Lwf5emabUu NBA 2K (NBA2K) JThis will mark the fourth time Jordan has appeared on the cover of the game, doing so in NBA 2K11, NBA 2K12 and NBA. But it’s usually only one athlete to a given game. Some, like the Madden NFL series, carry a purported curse - athletes that grace the Madden cover often suffer through a woeful season immediately after. 2K Games selects the obvious choice for the cover athlete for this years NBA 2K entry, and could reveal at least two other cover athletes soon. It was a stage for popular plays to cement their legacy, or catapult up-and-coming players into the public consciousness. The spot of cover athlete has long been a badge of honour in sports games. Japan gets a standard edition featuring Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura. North American regions will get a standard edition cover featuring Candace Parker from the WNBA.

On top of this, there are two other cover athletes that will be region-specific. It is in fact the NBA, and not the NBA 2K series, that has been around for 75 years. You might be scratching your head at the name on that one. The standard edition will feature two-time NBA All-Star Luke Dončić, while icons like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dirk Nowitzki and the great Kevin Durant will grace the cover of the NBA 2K22 75th Anniversary Edition. Despite only being one video game, NBA 2K22 will launch with a whopping six cover athletes across its many different editions.
