Kobe Bryant, the late basketball legend, has been chosen as the cover star for the special editions of NBA 2K24. The Kobe Bryant Edition and Black Mamba Edition will be the more expensive versions of this year’s game, although their specific contents have not yet been disclosed. It is also expected that NBA 2K will reveal a current NBA player as the cover star for the standard edition, following tradition.
The announcement was made via a tweet from NBA 2K, showcasing the cover and stating, “Sharing the Mamba Mentality with the next generation. Introducing our #NBA2K24 cover athlete, Kobe Bryant. Pre-order your copy tomorrow.” The tweet also included images of the Kobe Bryant Edition and Black Mamba Edition covers.
The decision to feature Kobe Bryant on the cover is likely due to his iconic number 24 jersey, which he wore during the majority of his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA 2K took a similar approach last year by featuring Michael Jordan on the cover of 2K23, corresponding to his number 23 jersey.
Apart from this cover reveal, no other details about NBA 2K24 have been disclosed. However, the tweet suggests that preorders will open tomorrow, and additional information is expected to be released alongside that.
Looking back at our review of NBA 2K23, we gave the game a 6/10 rating and mentioned the on-court improvements. However, we also highlighted the persistent issue of pay-to-win microtransactions, which hindered the overall enjoyment.
