NBA 2K24 Set to Make Kobe Bryant Its Cover Star

NBA 2K24 - we keep bringing you the latest news about it. We recently shared with you the newest information about NBA 2K24 editions and badges in the game. This time, we're sharing the latest information we've learned about who will be NBA 2K24's cover star. As you can see in the title, NBA 2K24 wants to honor the memory of iconic basketball player Kobe Bryant this year, and is determined to make him the cover star.

Kobe Bryant Will Be NBA 2K24's Cover Star!

Kobe Bryant is set to become this year's cover athlete for the NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition and Black Mamba Edition. The basketball player, who has already appeared on the cover of NBA 2K10, NBA 2K17: Legend Edition, and two NBA 2K21 Mamba Forever Editions honoring his life and legacy, is not making his first appearance on an NBA 2K cover. NBA 2K24 plans to honor his memory by making the Lakers basketball player the face of this year's Kobe Bryant Edition and Black Mamba Edition. We'll once again be able to see the 18-time All-Star, five-time NBA Champion, and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, who tragically passed away in 2020, as NBA 2K's cover star! Additionally, tweets show that fans might find it absurd for anyone other than Kobe Bryant to appear on the NBA 2K24 cover. NBA 2K24 players will be able to purchase the NBA 2K24 Kobe Bryant Edition and Black Mamba Edition later this year.

NBA 2K24 Release Date

Right now, there's still no official information about NBA 2K24 or the game's potential release date. We've seen some changes over the years within a fairly standard release window like September or October, and since NBA 2K16, September has been the regular choice for the game every year. We predict the upcoming game will also be released on Friday, September 8, 2023.
