2K Sports has confirmed NBA 2K16 will be out on September
29th this year. The premiere basketball simulator will be coming to PC,
PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One and Xbox 360, with the usual raft of
pre-order incentives to hook gamers in.
Players who pre-order NBA 2K16 ahead of launch will be able
to head onto the court four days early, as part of what 2K has dubbed the
‘Early Tip-Off Weekend’. This covers people picking up the game online or
in-store, and is joined by some exclusive in-game items, including 10,000
Virtual Currency and a MyTEAM VIP package consisting of limited Emerald and
Gold booster packs.
Early access to the game leaves a bit of a sour taste in the
mouth for those who plan to wait on reviews before pre-ordering, but this isn’t
the first time this has happened. Last year’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
was available a day early for pre-orderers as part of the ‘Day Zero’ edition,
while EA has been running its subscription-based EA Access for a good while
now.
“NBA 2K16 promises to be one of the most groundbreaking
sports titles in video game history, combining exciting new features with
uncanny realism," said NBA 2K’s vice president of marketing Alfie Brody.
The usual series developer Visual Concepts is back at the
helm once more for NBA 2K16, which is arriving on September 25th for pre-order
customers and September 29th on general sale, for PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One and
Xbox 360.
