While the release date for NBA 2K21 is still up in the air, 2k Sports is taking this week to release all three of its covers. The first spoiled is the current-gen cover, and the honor went to a powerhouse player: Damian Lillard.
NBA 2K games always have three different covers that gamers can choose from: a current generation player, a legend edition, and a next-gen player. While most fans are hoping that the recently-deceased Kobe Bryant will be the cover of the Legend Edition for 2K21, the covers were all undecided officially until this week. The first cover, the one with a current-generation player, has been revealed with the other two on the way soon.
2K Games revealed that the first cover will feature Blazers' point guard Damian Lillard. The 29-year-old tweeted that being featured on the cover of NBA2k21 is "a dream come true. I've been playing 2K since the Dreamcast days!" It's fantastic to see a devoted NBA video game player to be featured. Also, similar tweets let fans know that who will be on the 2k21 Legend and next-gen covers will also be revealed this week.
While there is still a lot fans don't know about the NBA2k21, but everyone seems to be very excited about this next generation of NBA and other sports games. These will be the first games on the next-gen consoles, so players will finally get to experience sports games on the PS5 and Series X. That means better graphics, amazing load times, and most likely some additional features for fans to enjoy.
NBA 2K21 is currently in development.
